When any indicator comes on or a
message is displayed on the MID,
AcuraLink immediately notif ies you
with the message, ‘‘An indicator is on.
AcuraLink can help you decide what
to do.’’
When an indicator comes on or a
message is displayed on the Multi-
Inf ormation Display (MID),
AcuraLink can provide inf ormation
about the cause of the indicator or
message and the recommended
action to address it. This helps you
handle the problem as it occurs,
preventing or limiting costly repairs.
The AcuraLink system cannot
determine mechanical problems
(such as squeaks or rattles) that are
not triggered by the diagnostic
indicator monitors.
For more information on the
instrument panel indicators, see
page
.
For this reason, it is important that
we retain your current phone
number. Please update your
inf ormation using My Acura at
