Off road mode error

[matt_grenadier]

Yesterday, I wanted to go to off road mode. Pressed the 'off road mode' button, but i think i was still driving slowly, so the 'conditions' for off road mode where not met. The manual says the vehicle should be still and handbrake should be on. So I get an 'off road mode error' on the screen.

Then I thought, ok conditions were not met, so I looked up conditions, i.e. stop the vehicle and handbrake on, and still the off road mode wouldn't turn on, now it said 'off road mode not available'.

In the mean time, the 'off road error' lights in front of me kept blinking at me. So I restarted the car, 'off road error' lights still blinking... So for the rest of the trip the ''off road error' lights kept blinking at me, and wouldn't go away.

Does any body know how to get rid of the 'off road error'?

Also, this is again one of those infuriating things about the Grenadier:

• Expected process, push the button, something happens, button indicates it's ON, push the button again, it turns off. Very simple.
• Reality, push the button, conditions are not met, error on infotainment, and error lights in front, then conditions are met, and the error keeps going on and is impossible to turn off, and the expected action of the button never happened.

For a vehicle that's about simplification, the process of pressing a simple button is infuriating. How did they get this so wrong?

Handbrake isn't required, or at least I haven't used it. But always have stopped.
"Restarted" may be too fast for the controllers to sleep. Try 2-3 minutes.
But I agree, too complicated. And every time you switch off the ignition you need to do the same process again.
