DIC Warnings and Messages
These messages appear if there is a problem detected
in one of the vehicle’s systems. You must then press
RESET to clear the display screen for further use.
However, be sure to take any message that appears
on the display screen seriously and remember that
pressing the RESET button will only make the message
disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in English,
French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish.
ABS (Antilock Brake System) ACTIVE
This message displays when the Antilock Brake
System (ABS) is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid
a braking skid.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message
displays, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
message may stay on for a few seconds after the
system stops adjusting brake pressure.
BUCKLE PASSENGER
This message reminds you to buckle the passenger
safety belt.
This message displays and a chime sounds when
the ignition is on, the driver safety belt is buckled,
the passenger safety belt is unbuckled with the
passenger airbag enabled, and the vehicle is in
motion. You should have the passenger buckle their
safety belt.
The reminder will be repeated if the ignition is on, the
vehicle is in motion, the driver is buckled and the
passenger is still unbuckled, and the passenger airbag
is enabled. If the passenger safety belt is already
buckled, this message and chime will not come on.
BUCKLE SEAT BELT
This message reminds you to buckle the driver
safety belt.

be repeated. If the driver safety belt is already buckled,
this message and chime will not come on.
This message is an additional reminder to the Safety
Belt Reminder Light in the instrument panel cluster.
