Red Car warning on Dash
I hit a pot hole and saw a sideways red car pop up and flash for a second. Can't seem to find the icon anywhere. Just curious what it meant, obvious from the pot hole but I don't see it anywhere as a indicator.

Sounds like the Crossroad warning, where the car warns you that it thinks a car is not going to stop at an intersection ahead of you. Not sure why the pothole would trigger it though
See if it’s the same icon shown in this video: |

I get this at random times but rarely. It's supposed to warn you of an imminent impact but if I see it I can observe no such thing.

I've seen it a number of times on roundabouts wit traffic entering the roundabout ahead of me.
Seen the pedestrian alert 2 times to date and the red car warning quite a number of tunes either when a car ahead is braking strongly or sometimes when overtaking a parked car and there is a bollard in the middle of the road ahead. All of that plus one emergency brake initiated by the car with someone walking into the road to get into their car. |

I get them all of the time when I turning down on a steep driveway. I'm glad it's there. It pops up when it's needed.

But a few false alarms is the price to pay to have real alerts that can avoid an accident. Which it potentially has a few times in 2 years.

That's it. The pedestrian or vehicle impact is the opposite way so this is the one I'm speaking.
