What does it mean when SosNotReady appears in red?
2 Answers
SOSNOTREADY indicates that the SOS road assistance system is not ready. The reasons for the red display of sosnotready and the solutions are as follows: Reasons for the red display: If it still appears after starting the vehicle, it is due to poor signal in the current communication environment, preventing the SOS system from receiving a signal. As the car moves, the signal will be captured and the display will automatically disappear. If the issue persists for a long time, it indicates a fault in the assistance system, and it is recommended to drive to an official 4S store for inspection and repair. Solutions for the red display: Normally, this prompt appears when the vehicle is not started. The driver can simply start the vehicle to resolve it.
The red SOS Not Ready warning is no small matter—it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's emergency call system, rendering it inoperable and directly compromising driving safety. Imagine the risk if the SOS button fails during an accident. Potential causes vary: low vehicle battery charge, especially after frequent short trips; poor GPS signal reception, common in mountainous areas or tunnels; failed onboard software updates; or internal module failures like a damaged antenna. I once encountered this during a long drive when the red light suddenly lit up, prompting me to pull over immediately. A system conflict was the culprit, resolved by rebooting the car's computer. However, if the issue persists, visit a professional repair shop for diagnostic scanning and repairs. For peace of mind, have technicians inspect this system during routine maintenance—don't wait until it's urgently needed.
