Connected Safety 10
Connected Safety communicates information between your vehicle and other vehicles via the Internet 11
. The function is designed to
notify the driver of any hazardous road condi- tions ahead.
The function can notify the driver if another vehicle further down the road has activated itshazard warning flashers or detected slipperyroad conditions. You will also be notified ifyour own vehicle detects slippery road condi-tions. Connected Safety can assist the driver with the following:
Hazard warning flashers alert
Slippery road alerts
Connected Safety communication betweenvehicles only works for vehicles that are equip-ped with the function and have it activated.
Hazard warning flashers alertIf your vehicle's hazard warning flashers areactivated, information on this can be sent toother vehicles approaching your location. When your vehicleapproaches a vehicle with itshazard warning flashers on,this symbol will appear in theinstrument panel.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, the warning symbols for Connected Safetywill also be displayed there.
Slippery road alertsIf your own car detects reduced frictionbetween your tires and the road, informationon this can be sent to vehicles approachingyour own car's position.
As the vehicle approachesthe area affected, this symbolwill be displayed in the instru-ment panel to alert the driverof slippery road conditions.Drivers of other vehiclesreceiving information via
Connected Safety will receive similar notifica-tions as they approach the area.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, the warning symbols for Connected Safetywill also be displayed there.

* Option/accessory.281
The driver can be alerted if the vehicle is exceeding a detected speed limit and isapproaching a speed camera.
Speed Limit Warning warns the driver if the
vehicle's speed has exceeded the applicable speed limit or the stored maximum speed. Thewarning will be repeated once afterabout 30 seconds in that speed limit area ifthe driver does not slow down. An additional warning will not be provided unless the vehicle's speed is reduced by atleast 5 km/h (3 mph) and then exceeds thespeed limit again or the vehicle enters a new/different speed limit area.
NOTE
For an audible alert to be provided if the speed is exceeded, the Speed Limit
Warning function must be activated and
the Road Sign Audio Warning sub-func-
tion must be On. Audible alerts are provi-
ded if the vehicle's speed exceeds the speed displayed by Road Sign Informationin the instrument panel.
Speed camera warningVehicles equipped with Road Sign Information and SensusNavigation can provide infor-mation on upcoming speedcameras in the instrument panel 22
.
If the vehicle exceeds a detected speed limit with the Speed Limit Warning function acti-
vated, the driver is given a speed warning when the vehicle is approaching a speed cam-era if the navigation map for the vehicle's cur-rent location contains information on speedcameras.
NOTE
It is possible to receive an audible alert for speed cameras regardless of the vehicle'sspeed and whether or not the speed limit is exceeded, even if the
Road Sign Audio
Warning function is deactivated.

Using engine braking instead of applying the brakes
Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it cansometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster andlet speed be reduced instead by engine brak-ing alone. The driver can temporarily disen-gage the Cruise Control braking function. To disengage CC:
–Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.
> Cruise Control will automatically disen-
gage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using theengine braking function.

cle. When there are no longer slower-moving vehicles ahead, the vehicle will return to theset speed. If the Curve Speed Assist (CSA)
* function is
activated, it may also affect the vehicle's speed. Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to: smoothly regulate speed. The driver must apply the brakes in situations requiringimmediate braking. For example, whenthere are great differences in speedbetween vehicles or if the vehicle aheadbrakes suddenly. Due to limitations in theradar sensor, braking may occur unexpect-edly or not at all.
follow a vehicle ahead in the same laneand maintain a time interval to that vehicleset by the driver. If the radar sensor doesnot detect a vehicle ahead, it will insteadmaintain the speed set by the driver. Thiswill also happen if the speed of the vehicleahead exceeds the set speed for your vehi-cle.

limitations Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 47
) may have
limited functionality in certain situations.
Steep roads and/or heavy loadsAdaptive Cruise Control is primarily intended to be driven on flat roads. The function maynot be able to maintain the correct time inter-val to the vehicle ahead when driving downsteep hills. The driver should be extra attentiveand prepared to apply the brakes. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control if the vehi- cle is carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Drive mode unavailableThe Off Road drive mode cannot be selected
if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
WARNING
This is not a collision avoidance sys- tem. The driver is always responsibleand must intervene if the system failsto detect a vehicle ahead.
The function does not brake for peopleor animals and does not brake for smallvehicles, such as bikes and motorcy-cles. Similarly, it does not brake for lowtrailers, oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles and objects.
Do not use the function in demandingsituations, such as in city traffic, atintersections, on slippery surfaces,with a lot of water or slush on the road,in heavy rain/snow, in poor visibility, onwinding roads, or on on/off ramps.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
