The indicator lamp on the Roadside
Assistance button • remains illumi-
nated in red for approximately
10 seconds during the system
self-check after switching on the igni-
tion (together with the SOS button and
the Information button ¡).
See system self-check (
୴ page 266) if
the indicator lamp does not come on in
red or stays on longer than
approximately 10 seconds.
If the indicator lamp on the Roadside
Assistance button • is flashing
continuously and there was no voice
connection to the Response Center
established, then the Tele Aid system
could not initiate a Roadside Assis-
tance call (e.g. the relevant cellular
phone network was not available). The
message
Call failed
appears in the
multifunction display.
Roadside Assistance calls can be
terminated using the t button on
the multifunction steering wheel or the
END Button on the audio system or
COMAND* System.
