Pothole Detection

Anyone knows how this works I started getting these s few months ago and they are pretty accurate even though some are already repaired wish I had it 6 months ago when i got a flat and needed a new tire.

Detected via the suspension in certain models and then shared with other vehicles on the road using Car-to-X. Somebody actually has to drive through the pothole first to be detected.

@gamoon I share your pain. Installed a brand new set of winter tires and less than 50 miles after I hit a pothole, no warning. Had to replace the tire, fortunately no rim damage. Drove the same route about a month later. It looked like there were some repairs but still rough surface. There was no warning. The notifications seem to stick around for a while but it is unclear what the retention time is.

I actually got an alert yesterday in my EQS about a pothole. I slowed down and was able to avoid it. Finally, a Car-2-X success.

There actually is an option for the driver to manually enter a car-to-x warning via MBUX.

Yes! Press your car/arrow icon in the middle of the center console map.
