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 to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate action.
Press any of the DIC buttons on the instrument panel or
the trip odometer reset stem on the instrument panel

and to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the display

action before they can be removed from the DIC
display. Take any messages that appear on the display
seriously and remember that clearing the messages
will only make the messages disappear, not correct the
problem.
