Trying to make the flash indicator blink 3 times after one click, but cant. I follow the instructions as said on the manual, but cant find the flash indicator logo on the display. All only the time and date logos show up, after pressing the flash indicator leaver and nothing else! What im i doing wrong?

You need the ignition on to do this. Not necessarily with the engine running but it needs to be on

But the ignition is on, if its not i wouldnt get any notifications! I can set time and date, therefore it is on!

Mine was only set at one flash when I picked up the car, but I soon changed it to 3 when I got home. Ive got the Sat Nav though, so programmed it easily through the Nav screen.

Do you just have the normal set up?

"you set the 3 flashes via the obc. Press and hold the computer button in, select Set/Info, select the indicator option, select the 3 flashes, again by holding in the button. All done, exit using Home and it should be set for auto 3 flash!!"

You need to put the key in the slot and then press the start button but without your foot on the clutch, so not starting the engine. Then you can get into the full menu and change all sorts of things like doors locking automatically etc and also obviously the indicators. I changed mine to 3 flashes.

Its not relevant but i believe that those 3 flashes are not enough for a safe turn or lane change. If i were to decide id set it for 4-5 flashes! What do you think?

I would prefer 4 or 5 flashes, but I believe that 3 is the maximum
