does not go of f until the problem(s)
is corrected.

system message indicator comes on
for the first time.
Most of the messages are displayed

several system messages to be
shown, the display switches these
messages every 5 seconds.
To cancel the message(s) bef ore 5
seconds elapsed, press the INFO
( / ) button on the steering wheel.
