Check your position on the map

Side roads toward the beach or mountains are outside the active riding corridor. Carefully return the vehicle to the main road; normal assistance should resume after it re-enters the permitted area.

02

Other possible causes

Low battery, a mechanical issue or difficult conditions may also change performance. Stop somewhere safe and read any message in the app.
