The indicator lamp on the Roadside
Assistance button • remains illuminated in
red for approximately 10 seconds during the
system self-check after switching on the ignition
(together with the SOS button and the
Information button ¡).
See system self-check (
୴ page 230) 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 Assistance call (e.g. the rele-
vant 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
COMAND system headunit.
