Went to start the Macan up on Sunday as haven't used it for over a month, and have a 400 mile round trip coming up.
It had sat under a cover in the garage through that time. Upon starting it (cover off) it gave me the above message, as well as:
- Adaptive headlight control defective. Service required
- Driving light control defective. Service guess what
- Pedestrian warning not available. Service necessary
Thought it may be a glitch, so retried today and same again.
Did some online research and seems like it's a common thing. Cure is clean the headlights, although mine are very clean as I previously put it to bed after a wash
Other potential causes according to the internet are how damp the air is. It was bone dry on Sunday the first time I tried, and now it's very humid
Has anyone experienced this? And if so do you mind letting me know how you fixed it (without necessarily having a service!). Thanks everyone
PS tried searching on here for relevant threads but no joy, however posting this may bring up similar previous discussions

Great. Many thanks. I was hoping it would be something like that. Will take it for a drive tomorrow and see if they disappear

Thanks. Also very reassuring as no time to get it into dealer before I go

I've always used mine 6 days out of 7, frequently more, and never had such issues.FirstSeaLord wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 4:12 pm Went to start the Macan up on Sunday as haven't used it for over a month, and have a 400 mile round trip coming up.
