System warnings
System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your
vehicle’s operating systems.
In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will
cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for four
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 can be divided into three categories:
•Cannot be cleared until the condition is corrected.
•Reappears 10 minutes after resetting it.
•Reappears if the condition clears, then reoccurs within the same
ignition on/off cycle.
Pressing RESET can clear some messages. If they do not clear when
pressing RESET, the condition causing the message must be addressed
to clear the message.
