5.1 General
The electronic system offers diagnostic information to support the technician during the recognition
and rectification of faults within the system. If an fault is present, the status display (the outside left
LED of the battery charger display) will blink in groups with small pauses. The type of folders displayed
by the number of blinks in each group, which are also known as the "blink code" or "error code".
The electronic system reacts differently depending on the seriousness of the fault and its effect on
user safety. It can, for example:
§

§
display the blink code, stop the Meteor and hold it at a standstill until the electronic system has
been switched off and switched on again
§
display the blink code, stop the Meteor and not permit further driving until the fault has been recti-
fied.

§

§

with Section 6.2.
