SOS Inoperative

When I started my new GL this morning it came up with this alert. The screen says SOS Inoperative. The SOS light is not lit up either. I don't remember pushing any buttons. Anything I can do to turn it back on...or is it broken? I used the i button and called mbrace and the agent thought it might not work in a crash. Only 1100 miles.

The good news is your main mBrace unit is wroking - since you reached Concierge.

The protocol would be for the dealer to "re-program" the mBrace unit - and that process in the shop takes about 1hr 20 min.

Schedule a dealer appt under warranty - and all should turn out to the good after the re-program.

Keep the beat !

To fix this, my dealer had to take out the middle seat and carpeting to replace the TeleAid module.
