The traffic hazard alert function uses the
switched-on V2X system and warns
about nearby traffic hazards based on
the current situation. This can prevent
accidents and improve traffic flow.
Traffic hazards transmit data
When V2X data is received by other partici-
pants, warnings can be provided about the
following traffic hazards:
— Emergency vehicle on active call.
— Day and mobile road works.
— Breakdown, accident or end of traffic jam.
— Intervention of an assist system in a vehi-
cle ahead.
Traffic hazard alert is displayed
Depending on the type of traffic hazard, the
driving speed and the degree of vehicle de-
celeration, a warning about a relevant traffic
hazard is provided as follows:
— Acoustic warning.
— Information or warning message.
WARNING
Failure to observe traffic hazard alerts can
lead to accidents and serious injuries.
·
Never ignore traffic hazard alerts.
Hiding a displayed traffic hazard alert

Troubleshooting
Car2X switches itself off independently
— Car2X is not permitted in the country in
which the vehicle is currently being driven.
— The vehicle was offline too long so that
certificates were not updated. Adapt the
privacy settings so that an online connec-
tion is established in order to allow the
certificates to be updated.
— System fault. Go to a qualified workshop.
No Car2X data is displayed
— Functioning of Car2X is restricted.
— There are no participants transmitting da-
ta in the vicinity.
— There are transmitting participants in the
vicinity, but they are not relevant for your
vehicle.
— Car2X aerials are blocked by add-on parts
or covers. Keep the areas around Car2X
aerials clear.
— Data exchange between participants is im-
paired or not possible due to the weather
conditions.
— There is already a driver reaction to the
hazard ahead.
