2-80 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 message which is
only displayed in English.
Pressing the INFO or NO INFO RESET button(s)
will remove most of the following messages from the
DIC display:
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
- 46: This message
will appear if your vehicle is in PARK (P) for about
15 seconds and the brake is not pressed. On the climate
control panel, press the OFF button (next to the MODE
button) and the down arrow on the PASS TEMP button
for about five seconds. Hold the same two buttons to
display the message again.
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 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 SKIP INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the
engine is running.
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 and may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
to boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. (Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using a battery charger.)

TOP SPEED FUEL OFF - 111 : This message will
appear when the PCM senses that the maximum speed
for your vehicle has been reached. The speed of your
vehicle will decrease several mph as the fuel supply is
cut off. This allows your vehicle to stay in a stable
operating range.
TRACTION ENGAGED
- 91: When your traction
control system is limiting wheel spin, the TRACTION
ENGAGED message will be displayed. Slippery road
conditions may exist if this message is displayed, so

on for a few seconds after the traction control system
stops limiting wheel spin.
TRACTION OFF
- 89: This message will be displayed
after the traction control has been turned off.

the driver that the traction control system is available.
This occurs when the traction on/off button in the glove
box has been returned to ON (pressing the button once
turns the traction control system off; pressing the button
again turns the system back on). This message also
self
-cancels after five seconds.TRACTION SUSPENDED
- 56: This message
displays when the traction control system has been
temporarily shut off because your vehicle's brakes
have overheated. This message does not indicate a
problem with your vehicle's traction control system.
After a few minutes, the traction control system will be
available again and the TRACTION READY message
will appear.

running and the ignition on, press and hold the OFF and
rear defog buttons located on the climate control panel
until the TRANS FLUID RESET message appears on
the DIC (between five and 20 seconds).

Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
With RDS the radio can do the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs
you want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,

receive and display messages from radio stations and

search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
(RDS Select): Press this button to use the
alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and
the PTY arrows).HR (Hour) or MN (Minute): Press the RDS select
button, followed by one of these buttons to display the
time of the current station. STATION TIME IS will be
displayed. If a time has not been sent to the radio,
NO STATION TIME will be displayed. If you have
recently tuned to the station, you may need to wait a
minute before the time is available to the radio. To set
the clock to the current displayed station time, press and
hold HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is displayed.
There is a two second delay before the time is updated.
RDS does not have to be on to use this function,
but you must be tuned to an FM RDS station.
REGION: Press the RDS select button, then press
and hold the RDS pushbutton for two seconds.
REGION: ON will appear on the display. When an
RDS station becomes weak, this function searches for
a stronger station within the same network. A network
can span a great distance. One network can have stations
spread across a country or continent. Each network
breaks down into regions. With regions, local news
items like weather and traffic are available to you.
When the region function is on, the radio only searches
for stations in the same network and region. You can
only use the region function when RDS is on. Press the
RDS pushbutton again to turn the region function off.
REGION: OFF will appear on the display.
