4.3.1 Auto test

In Auto test, a comprehensive test of the components in the robotic lawnmower is carried out. The test is semi-

automatic, which means each component is started and stopped by the service program.

Auto test

is a suitable

function to use for an overall review of the components, for example, in connection with winter service or to start

troubleshooting.
After the review in

Auto test

the results are presented in a list. Non-approved results are presented in red with

proposed action. Tests that are skipped are presented in yellow. Approved tests are presented in the form of

green ticks.
