DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another. You can scroll through
the messages that may have been sent at the
same time. The DIC is continuously updated with
the vehicle performance status.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press the RESET button to
acknowledge that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be

clearing the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.

Brake System (ABS) is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid.

balance, equalization (EQ) settings and source
(radio or CD)
The last climate control setting

different drivers. One of the keyless access
transmitters is assigned to driver 1. The other is
assigned to driver 2. The back of the keyless
access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2 to
correspond to each driver.The current driver’s preferences are recalled when
