DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the DIC to notify
the driver that the status of the vehicle has changed and

correct the condition. More than one message may
appear at one time. They will appear one after the other.
The messages are displayed for three seconds each.
Some messages may not require immediate action

and clear it from the display. Each message must
be acknowledged individually. Some messages cannot
be cleared from the display because they are more

the possible messages that can be displayed and some
