Get Data Transfer and Updates -> Traffic hazard alert Guide for Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

The traffic hazard alert function uses V2X technology and warns about nearby traffic hazards based on the current situation. This can

prevent accidents and improve traffic flow.

Depending on the type of traffic hazard, the driving speed and the degree of vehicle deceleration, a warning about a relevant traffic

hazard is provided as follows:

—Acoustic warning.

—Text message with symbol on the digital instrument cluster.

WARNING

The traffic hazard alert function is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the system limits of

V2X. The traffic hazard alert function cannot recognise all dangerous situations and may not issue a warning or may issue a warning

with a delay. If you rely exclusively on the traffic hazard alert function, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries or even death.

● Always drive with due care and attention and with an anticipatory driving style and be ready to intervene at all times.

● Observe the system limits (→ V2X technology).

● Always adapt your driving style to the current visibility, weather and road/traffic conditions.

WARNING

Failure to observe traffic hazard alerts can lead to serious accidents and fatal injuries.

● Never ignore traffic hazard alerts.

Mobile devices can be connected to the Infotainment system by cable and wireless connections present in the vehicle.

The type and number of cable and wireless connections differ according to the vehicle equipment and country. The connections may

also be different within a model series or in special-edition models.

In the case of cable connections, use only the original device connecting cables or, if available, the factory-supplied connecting cables

for your vehicle.

If the plug on the connecting cable cannot be inserted, check the angle of insertion and the connections.

NOTICE

If unsuitable or damaged connecting cables are used or if the connecting cable connector is inserted with strong pressure or in the

wrong position, this can lead to malfunctions and damage to the device, e.g. the device connection and the connecting cable

connector may be damaged.

● Use only suitable and undamaged connecting cables.

● When inserting the plugs of the connecting cables into the appropriate connection, ensure that they are correctly positioned and

apply only light pressure.

● Make sure that the connecting cable is not trapped or sharply bent.

If a connected device is not recognised, disconnect all devices and connect the device again. If necessary, check that the

connecting cable you are using is working properly.

If a connected device malfunctions, restart the device. In some cases this will remedy the fault.
