"SITUATION: A 'NO PLAYABLE VIDEO' MESSAGE MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE HIGH LEVEL DISPLAY FRONT (HLDF) TOUCH SCREEN AND DVD VIDEO DISCS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE PLAYED. CAUSE: THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF HLDF SOFTWARE UPDATING AND THE AUDIO CONTROL MODULE (ACM) INCORRECTLY DETECTING FIVE CAR CONFIGURATION CODE (CCF) DVD REGION CODE CHANGES, CAUSING THE ACM TO PERMANENTLY SET THE LAST REGION CODE VALUE AS THE DEFAULT CODE. THE CORRECT DVD REGION CODE FOR NORTH AMERICA IS '1'."
JTB-00303-NAS-12016-09-02. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. "SITUATION: A RHYTHMIC 'BLIP' NOISE MAY BE HEARD FROM THE FRONT DOOR MID-RANGE SPEAKERS. THE NOISE MAY OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR A NUMBER OF MINUTES AND IS THEN WOKEN UP UPON ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE.

SSM-666372016-09-02. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY. "ISSUE: A CUSTOMER MAY REPORT A CONCERN WITH A FLAT BATTERY OR POOR STARTING; WHEN TESTING THE BATTERY IT IS DETERMINED THAT A CHARGE IS REQUIRED. CAUSE: WHEN CHARGING A BATTERY (BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY) WITH A BMS (BATTERY MONITORING SYSTEM) FITTED, THE EARTH FROM THE CHARGER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SUITABLE CHASSIS OR ENGINE EARTH (CHECK TOPIX FOR APPROPRIATE LOCATION). THIS ALLOWS THE BMS TO SEE THE CURRENT GOING INTO THE BATTERY. HOWEVER WHEN USING A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGER FROM MIDTRONICS SUCH AS GR1, GRX OR GR8(110 VOLTS) THIS CONNECTION PROCESS CAN CAUSE AN INCORRECT BATTERY ANALYSIS DUE TO THE EXTRA RESISTANCE IN THE WIRING WHEN CONNECTED TO A CHASSIS OR ENGINE EARTH."
SSM-585972016-09-01. Service bulletin. TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS; EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL; TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE. "ISSUE: A CUSTOMER MAY REPORT THAT A SPARE WHEEL LOW TYRE PRESSURE WARNING IS DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT PACK MESSAGE CENTRE, WHEN NO FULL SIZE SPARE WHEEL IS PRESENT. CAUSE: THERE IS A SCENARIO WHERE AN INCORRECT SPARE WHEEL ID MAY BE LEARNT BY A VEHICLE THAT WILL THEN DISPLAY A LOW PRESSURE WARNING, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SPARE WHEEL, EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH A NON TPMS SPARE I.E SPACE SAVER OR INSTANT MOBILITY SYSTEM (IMS). THIS ISSUE IS UNLIKELY TO OCCUR, BUT PROBABILITY IS INCREASED AFTER THE USE OF WHEELS WITH NO TPMS SENSORS FITTED."
SSM-723072016-09-01. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. "ISSUE THE MESSAGE ""RADAR SENSOR BLOCKED"" APPEARS IN INSTRUMENT PACK DISPLAY.

BLOCKAGE CAN ALSO OCCUR WHEN ACC IS NOT BEING USED. CAUSE ""RADAR SENSOR BLOCKED"" INDICATES THAT THE ADAPTIVE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM'S VISIBILITY HAS BEEN REDUCED DUE TO AN OBSTRUCTION. ACC CONTINUALLY SCANS FOR OBJECTS AHEAD AND, IF IT SEES NO OBJECTS I.E. VEHICLES, ROAD SIGNS, LAMPPOSTS, GUARD RAILS ETC, IT WILL INDICATE A BLOCKAGE EVEN IF THE ACC IS NOT USED. THE C1A67-97 DTC FLAGS A RADAR BLOCKAGE SITUATION AND NOT A SYSTEM FAULT."
