Battery Voltage
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the current battery
voltage. If the voltage is in the
normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read
Battery Voltage 15.0 Volts. The
vehicle's charging system regulates
voltage based on the state of
the battery. The battery voltage
can fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See Charging System Light
on page 4‑20
for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, the DIC will
display a message. See Battery
Voltage and Charging Messages
on
page 4‑33
.

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Compass
on
page 4‑10
.
Vehicle 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 by the driver to correct the
condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you can
press SET to acknowledge that
you received the messages and to
clear them from the display. Some
messages cannot be cleared from
the DIC display because they are
more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. You should 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. You will find
the possible messages that can be
displayed and some information
about them grouped by subject in
the following information.
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages
Battery Saver Active
This message displays when
the vehicle has detected that the
battery voltage is dropping beyond
a reasonable point. The battery
saver system starts reducing certain
features of the vehicle that you may
be able to notice. At the point that
features are disabled, this message
is displayed. It means that the
vehicle is trying to save the charge
in the battery. Turn off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to
recharge.
Low Battery
This message is displayed when the
battery voltage is low. See Battery
on page 9‑27
for more information.
