Volkswagen ID.4: V2X limitations

Data transfer

The V2X system in your vehicle only communicates with those participants who are equipped with functioning and compatible V2X technology.

Participants with deactivated, faulty or incompatible V2X are not included.

Range

Depending on the weather conditions and area surrounding the vehicle, V2X technology participants can communicate in an immediate area of up to around 800 m (244 ft). Not all of the functions based on V2X use the full range possible.

WARNING

V2X technology is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. V2X technology cannot detect all hazardous situations and may warn with a delay or not at all. If you rely solely on V2X technology, there is a risk of accidents and serious injuries or even death.

• Always drive attentively and think ahead and be ready to intervene at any moment.
• Observe the system limitations (→ V2X technology).
• Always adapt your driving style to the current visibility, weather, road, and traffic conditions.

Functional limitations

The function of V2X may be restricted in the following cases:

• The environmental conditions prevent data from passing through to the participant.
• Trailer mode prevents data from passing through to the participant.
• Vehicle superstructures prevent data from passing through to the participant.
• The event is not detected by participants as such.

Activating and deactivating V2X

When you log in as a user in the vehicle for the first time, check whether the V2X technology setting is as you want it and deactivate V2X technology manually if necessary.

Activating V2X technology

1. Tap HOME Privacy settings.

2. Activate V2X technology.

WARNING

With V2X technology, limit values for electromagnetic radiation outside the vehicle could be exceeded. Higher limit values for electromagnetic radiation could pose a risk to the health of persons with active medical implants, e.g. pacemakers.

V2X technology antennae are located on the roof of the vehicle and, if necessary, in the mirror triangle of the windshield.

• When outside the vehicle, keep a distance of 20 cm( approx. 8 in) from the activated V2X technology antenna.
• Deactivate V2X technology if you suspect it has affected an active medical implant, e.g. pacemaker, or another medical device.

Manually deactivating V2X technology

1. Tap HOME Privacy settings.

2. Deactivate V2X technology.

Automatically deactivating V2X technology

V2X can be automatically deactivated in certain cases (→ V2X technology).

Once the reason for the automatic deactivation has been resolved, V2X technology is reactivated if necessary.

1. To check the activation status of V2X, tap HOME Privacy settings.
