2- Display
The display of diagnostics and failures occurs in the Geotab Drive application when the driver is associated with the vehicle experiencing the issue.
The driver must consult the driver instruction sheet describing the measures to be taken in case of DCE failure, which must be present in the vehicle to comply with regulations.
**Note** If you have provided the user manual designed by AttriX, these sheets are located at the end of it in both French and English versions.
