System Errors

lamp illuminates and a message displays.
Switching the System Off and On
You can switch the system off using the
information display. When you switch
the system off, a warning lamp illuminates
and a message displays. When you switch
the system on or off, the alert indicators
flash twice.

when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a
trailer tow module and tow bar approved

when you attach a trailer.
To permanently switch the system off,
contact an authorized dealer.
