Has anyone else have this message pop up ? Don't know if I have a reception problem or if it's possible/ normal to have "dark" areas? I assume it's the LR assist button that's affected so not an issue at the moment ( famous last words ) plus it clears after pressing OK, and only came back a few more times on my journey, going to dealers tomorrow to get a trim piece replaced so will ask if I have an issue.

Well, it seems I do have an issue. Apparently it's either a switch connector or a short on the wiring loom, or possibly both, booked in for the day so they can replace the switch and also inspect the loom, let's hope no issues arise from the inspection. 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits.

It's not the LR Assist function. It is the SOS call to emergency services, which is triggered automatically if the airbags deploy or can be triggered manually by pressing the red button near the rear-view mirror. I had it appear several times on my previous car. It was linked to a fault with the InControl system and first started appearing when they replaced the telematics unit. 14.5MY SDV6 HSE Dynamic Indus silver/lunar/ebony 20" wheels, InControl, full-size spare, electric tow bar, adaptive xenons, adaptive cruise control, auto main beam assist.
