10 seconds during the system
self-check after switching on the igni-

See system self-check (

red or stays on longer than
approximately 10 seconds.
If the indicator lamp on the Roadside

is flashing
continuously and there was no voice
connection to the Response Center
established, then the Tele Aid system

phone network was not available). The
message
Call failed appears in the
multifunction display.
Roadside Assistance calls can be
terminated using the
