Hi me again
Sorry new on here not sure how it all works. Had my car two days and had this warning message come up today
‘Sos limited functionality’
Does anyone know what this is,
is it a major fault?
Please help😢😢

Hi, sounds like it could be a battery problem. Try a search, a few people have seen this.

PS. It's worth updating your profile with your Evoque year and spec to help with answers

Common issue, it's widely said that it's the back up battery within the sos module that's failed, had it on ours and the dealer carried out a software update and said it would cure it, I wasn't convinced but a year later so far so good

Yes, I have this warning come up sporadically over the past 2 years, then it goes away for many months.

There has been quite a bit of correspondence on this on this forum a while back - worth searching for.

Thankyou

Was it expensive to get checked out?

FOC in our case, the lithium battery is rated for 10 years as its doesn't do a lot being a back up battery, most reported cases are on cars around MY16 so about 4 years old, LR are aware of the issue despite what they tell you

Thankyou so much. I only bought the car Sunday. So in a bit of a panic mode. I bought from a specialist dealer not Land Rover direct. It’s a prestige lux model 2014 with all the gadgets so I will be gutted if I start getting problems already.

It's not a biggie problem more annoying but it wants fixing

Thanks for putting my mind at rest really kind of you

If you've only just got it then then it should be fixed under warranty from where you bought from, if they need to take it to a main dealer thats their problem so should be FOC as far as your concerned
