In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will cycle
the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for several seconds.
The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of
the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the
RESET control and clearing the warning message.
Warning messages that have been reset are divided into three categories:
•They will not disappear until a condition is changed.
•They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset.
•They will not reappear until an ignition LOCK/OFF-ON cycle has been
completed.
This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within
the vehicle.
