Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that
are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed in English.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING - 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE - 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At the
point that features are disabled, this message is displayed. It is used to convey that the vehicle is trying
to save the charge in the battery. Turn
off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to recharge.
ENGMET: Press this button to display information in
the English (miles) or metric (kilometers) system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM - 34: This message
means there is a problem in the Personalized
Automotive Security System (PASS-Key
111). A fault
has been detected in the system which means that the
PASS-Key I11 system is disabled and is not protecting
the vehicle. The vehicle usually restarts, however, you
may want to take your vehicle to a proper service center
before turning off the engine.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION - 100: See your dealer
for repair.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON - 3: This message is
displayed when a non-emissions related powertrain
malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by
a
technician as soon as possible.
SPEED LIMITED TO 90 - 113: A failure in the
suspension control system has occurred when this
message appears. The PCM determines the speed to
which your vehicle is limited. Have your vehicle serviced if this message appears.
STABILITY SYS ENGAGED - 55 : You may see the
STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue
to go in the direction in which you’re
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might
if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear a noise or feel
a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you’ll know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin,
so
you should consider slowing down.
STARTING DISABLED REMOVE KEY - 33: This
message will appear when the Personalized Automotive Security System (PASS-Key
111) senses that an improper
ignition key
is being used to try to start the vehicle.
Check the ignition key for damage. If
it is damaged, it
may need
to be replaced. If you see no damage, remove
the key and
try to start the vehicle again. If it still does
not start,
try another ignition key.
