DIC Warnings and Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem
sensed in one of your vehicle’s systems. The text
messages are the same for both the Base audio and
Navigation systems unless otherwise indicated.
You must acknowledge a message to clear it from the
screen for further use. To clear a message, do one
of the following:
Using the Base audio system, press CLR.
Using the Navigation system, Press the Ok button
on the screen.
Be sure to take any message that appears on the screen
seriously and remember that clearing the message will
only make the message disappear, not the problem.
Battery Saver Active
This message appears when the system detects that
the battery voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable
level. The battery saver system will start reducing certain
features of the vehicle that you may not be able to
notice. At the point that the features are disabled, this
message is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying
to save the charge in the battery.
Turn off all unnecessary accessories to allow the battery
to recharge.The normal battery voltage range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing
the INFO button until you nd BATTERY VOLTS
(Base audio system) or by selecting Battery Volts from
the Vehicle Information menu (Navigation system).
See “Vehicle Information menu” in the SRX
Entertainment and Navigation System owner’s manual
for more information.
Battery Voltage High
This message indicates that the electrical charging
system is overcharging the battery. When the system
detects that the battery voltage is above approximately
16 volts, this message will be displayed.
To reduce the charging overload, use the vehicle’s
accessories. Turn on the exterior lamps and radio, set the
climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on the
highest setting, and turn the rear window defogger on.
The normal battery voltage range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button until you
nd BATTERY VOLTS (Base audio system) or by
selecting Battery Volts from the Vehicle Information
menu (Navigation system). See “Vehicle Information
menu” in the SRX Entertainment and Navigation System
owner’s manual for more information.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have an AM-FM navigation radio
system that includes Digital Signal Processing (DSP),
a Radio Data System (RDS) with Program Type
(PTY) selections that will seek out the kind of music
you want to listen to. The radio can also communicate
with the navigation system to broadcast announcements
on traffic, weather, and emergency alert
communications. For information on how to use this
system, see the “Navigation System” manual.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have the DVD Rear Seat
Entertainment (RSE) system. The RSE system includes
a DVD player, a video display screen, two sets of
wireless headphones, and a remote control.
RSE is available in a base and an uplevel version.
The uplevel version is provided with the navigation radio
(if equipped). The uplevel RSE system offers the rear
seat passengers to have shared control of FM1,
FM2, AM, weather, CDC, and XM™ Satellite Radio
Service (if equipped).
Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen while

Notice:Ignoring these steps could result in costly
damage to your vehicle that would not be covered
by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or pulling it
will not work, and it could damage your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle’s system is not a 12-volt
system with a negative ground, both vehicles can
be damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systems
with negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your vehicle and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake rmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission
in NEUTRAL before setting the parking brake.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could
be damaged. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always turn off your radio and
other accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlets. Turn off
the radio and all lamps that aren’t needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!

Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle may have this feature. The Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) system uses radio and sensor technology
to check tire pressure levels. If your vehicle has this
feature, sensors are mounted on each tire and wheel
assembly, except for the compact spare tire and wheel.
Tire pressure readings are sent to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPM
system will display the Check Tire Pressure warning
message on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and, at
the same time, illuminate the low tire pressure warning
symbol, on the instrument panel cluster. For additional
information and details about the DIC operation and
displays seeSystem Controls on page 3-51and
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64.
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signicantly
under-inated.You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a signicantly under-inated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-ination also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended ination pressure as specied in the
vehicle placard and owner’s manual.
The Certication/Tire label or the Tire and Loading
Information Label (your vehicle’s tire information placard)
shows the size of your vehicle’s original tires and the
recommended cold ination pressure for your vehicle’s
tire. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on page 5-68. For
the location of the tire and loading information label, see
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-47.
Your vehicle’s TPM system can alert you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-71andTires on page 5-61.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
