How to turn off the SOS button on the car roof?
2 Answers
First, check whether the control unit of the car has been installed on other cars. If not, disconnect the emergency call control unit and install the backup battery after 10 minutes. Turn on the car ignition switch for 20 minutes. After the car is ignited, check whether the SOS fault has been successfully resolved.
Last time I accidentally hit the SOS button on the car roof while driving, and the flashing blue light freaked me out. Checking the manual revealed that most cars can turn it off by long-pressing the red button, but procedures vary significantly between models. My old Toyota requires a 3-second press, while my friend's new Volkswagen needs to access the emergency assistance menu in the infotainment system. The safest approach is to check your vehicle's manual - the instructions are usually found in the car system settings section. If the red light stays on after deactivation, it's likely a system glitch requiring a forced reboot by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes. Just a reminder though - this is a life-saving feature, so don't disable it casually. During a heavy rainstorm once, it literally saved me by connecting me to emergency services.
