To resolve the error message about vehicle profile parameters not matching in the Topcon System 150, you should create or select the correct Steering Profile that matches your vehicle. Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Auto Steer Setup screen.
2. Enter the Select Steering Profile screen.
3. Choose a steering profile template.
4. Use the arrows to select the template file that matches the tractor your console is mounted on.
5. Accept the selected template.
6. Enter a new steering profile name or use the generated one.

This ensures the profile parameters align with your vehicle setup.
