we are waiting to cross channel into France iwith our 1998 Buccaneer Caribbean, I pressed a button with a picture of a car on it and got message saying Car Lo !!! And a bleeping sound, which I now cannot stop, anyone know what message means? And how do we
stop bleeping, as will be impossible to sleep tonight.

thanks

    Pushing and holding the car button should work. Otherwise it will stop once sited and on hook up!

    Glad it's ok. Was trying to upload pics from our manual but massive technical issues at our end. Here is the relevant bit anyway as a pic test:

    So sorry, just seen tha bananas in the back of the picture. It's always a professional service... Laughing

    On ferry now just leaving Dover,

    have tried holding in button but still bleeping looks like I will disconnect battery, I guess it's telling me battery is defunct!

    appreciate your help that's a drink I owe you.

    Ours wasn't defunct, seem to remember OH pushed all buttons in desperation which seemed to stop it. I particulary like the description of a "rather useless message that is of no use to the end user"... Those were the days.


    Have a fantastic trip.

    Yes very odd i agree, will try all buttons and holding it in but think result in disconnection otherwise nil sleep, or sleep in car!!! Lol

    I'm just astonished that anyone could have the nerve to release to market a product ....or an instruction manual...like thatFrown.    Even the
    usual 'excuse' of poor translation by someone who thinks they can write English is clearly not applicable here.

    Anyway, hope you solve it before tonight!

    Back then Buccaneers were built at Full Sutton nr York! An English manual through and through (with a touch of Yorkshire humour?). But I'm going off topic...

    Disconnecting the battery and/or ear plugs sounds like a good temporary solution. Hope you're already happily asleep...

    Thanks Brue, I hope so too. 

    Trevorstretch, have just made the connection with your other thread (always a little behind). We have a very similar van, and although we were no use whatsoever this time, I hope we might be able to help in the future. But I'm sure you'll have got the hang
    of everything in no time... We salute your bravery!
