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 by the driver to correct
the condition. Multiple messages may appear one after
another. You can scroll through the messages that may
have been sent at the same time. The DIC is continuously
updated with the vehicle performance status.
Some messages may not require immediate action,
but you can press the RESET button 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.
The following are the possible messages that can be
displayed and some information about them.
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 is
displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
message stays on for a few seconds after the system
stops adjusting brake pressure. See Antilock Brake
System (ABS) on page 4-5 for more information.
ACTIVE HANDLING
This message displays when the Active Handling System
is operating. The Active Handling System is a computer
controlled system that assists the driver in controlling the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. You may feel or hear
the system working and see the ACTIVE HANDLING
message displayed in the DIC. This message stays on
for a few seconds following the active handling event.
This is normal when the system is operating. See Active
Handling System on page 4-7 and Braking on page 4-4.
