Driver Information Center (DIC) 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 problem. You must
then press INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display
screen for further use. However, be sure to take any
message that appears on the display screen seriously
and remember that pressing the INFO or INFO RESET
button will only make the message disappear, not
the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German,
Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the
language display adjusted for your vehicle.
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 means that the vehicle is trying
to save the charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to recharge.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine
is running.

2-100
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging less
than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is
possible that the generator can still recharge the battery.
The battery should recharge while driving but may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
(be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions) to
boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you
can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning off
the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the
DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
- 82: This means that the
life of the engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See ªEngine Oilº and
ªFilter Recommendationsº in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in
the Index.CHANGE TRANS FLUID
- 47: This message will
appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid. See
the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper fluid
and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID

CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on a grade. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the oil level is never checked while the engine is
running. If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears,
and your vehicle has been parked on level ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level
should be checked by observing the oil dipstick.
Prior to checking the oil level, be sure the engine has
been off for a few minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check the dipstick and add oil if
necessary. See ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
- 144: This message is
displayed when the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system
detects a low or high tire pressure condition in one or
more of the road tires. By pressing the INFO button
up or down the DIC display will show which tire or tires
do not have the correct inflation pressure. A ªLOW TIREº condition exists when the tire's air
pressure is under 24 psi (165 kPa) and a ªHIGH TIREº
condition exists when the tire's air pressure is above
36 psi (248 kPa).
The system will display the air pressure, the tire location
(LF, RF, RR or LR) and if the air pressure is low or
high. The tire pressure information is available in
English or metric measurements. For example, a driver's
side front tire that is low may be shown as: 22 PSI LF
TIRE LOW.
The correct tire inflation pressure should be set to those
shown on the Tire Loading
-Information Label, located on
the rear edge of the driver's door. For more information
regarding proper tire inflation, see ªInflation
-- Tire
Pressureº in the Index. If a tire is low, you should stop
as soon as possible and inspect your tire(s) for damage.
If a tire is flat, see ªIf a Tire is Flatº in the Index.

2-102
Once the TPM system detects the low or high tire
pressure condition, the message ªCHECK TIRE
PRESSUREº will be displayed whenever you start the
engine or the ignition is in the ON position. To remove
or clear the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message, you
will need to set the tire(s) to the proper tire pressure.
See ªInflation
-- Tire Pressureº in the Index.
CAUTION:
When the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message
is displayed on the Driver Information Center
and the tire pressure is low, your vehicle
handling capabilities will be reduced during
severe maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could
lose control of your vehicle. You or others could
be injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90 km/h)
when the tire pressure is low. Drive cautiously
and correct the tire pressure as soon as you can.
