The indicator lamp in the Roadside
Assistance button • remains illumi-
nated in red for approximately ten sec-
onds during the system self-check after
switching on the ignition (together with
the SOS button and the Information
button ¡).

the indicator lamp does not come on in
red or stays on longer than approxi-
mately ten seconds.

Assistance button • is flashing con-
tinuously and there was no voice con-
nection 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 is not available). The
message
Call failed
appears in the
multifunction display.
Roadside Assistance calls can be ter-
minated using the ì button on the
multifunction steering wheel or the re-
spective button for ending a telephone
