After a moment, all lamps on the trailer flash again.
The check is complete.
Rear fog lamp on trailer
When connecting a trailer, there may be instances when the rear fog lamp on the car does not illuminate. In theses cases, rear fog lamp functionality is transferred to only the trailer. Therefore, in these cases, check when the rear fog lamp is activated that the trailer is equipped with rear fog lamp in order to drive the vehicle combination in a safe manner.
Symbols and messages in the driver display: If one or more of the trailer’s direction indicators or brake light bulbs is broken, the driver display shows a symbol and a message. Other lights on the trailer must be checked manually by the driver before setting off.
| Symbol | Message |
|---|---|
| | Right trailer turn indicator malfunction Left trailer turn indicator malfunction |

If any lamp for the trailer’s direction indicators is broken, the driver display symbol for direction indicators will also flash more quickly than normal.
