DPS messages
Messages when activating DPS
Should a disturbance occur that prevents activating DPS, a message is displayed on the screen. The message
describes why the DPS cannot be activated.
• GPS signal too weak. DPS will not be
activated.
If the GPS signal is too weak, it may help to wait
a moment since the signal might be temporarily
weak. Alternatively move the boat to a new
position. Bridges, cranes and tall buildings might
obscure the GPS signal and disturb the function.
Check that the antenna has free range.
• DPS cannot be activated. Too few drivetrains
accessible. Check that all engines are
running. Take action on possible faults.
To engage the DPS, all engines must be
running. Make sure that there are no messages
that need to be acknowledged and attended to.
