Smile Pre safe inoperative message on screen

Just out of warranty ! Started car tonight and " pre safe inoperative " message on the screen. Seems to drive fine but the message wont go away. As I live in the country here in North Queensland Australia it is an hours drive to my nearest dealership. And it's just out of warranty ( 2014 model ) . Can I get a guidance here as the local dealer is not necessarily up to date. Thanks

is there snow ice or dirt on the glass? Are the bumper sensors dirty or with snow?

usually this is temporary warning but occasionally may require you to bring it in

I had it on my 13' E63 a few times. Dealer told me sometimes when it comes on for no reason the battery is getting low and it throws the pre safe message. I would check battery voltage just in case you are on the verge of needing a new battery.

Regurgitated crap from dealers from some book. I was told the same thing several times, two brand new batteries later it still comes on still on occasion. Goes away on its own though

That was my experience as well. Only one time did I need a new battery.
