DIC Warnings and Messages
These messages display if there is a problem in one of
the vehicle’s systems. They override any other mode
or screen the Driver Information Center (DIC) may be in.
Some messages can be cleared from the DIC screen.
In order to do this, the message must be acknowledged.
To acknowledge or clear the message from the
screen, press the set/reset button on the DIC.
See DIC Operation and Displays (Uplevel DIC with
Trip Computer) on page 3-55 or DIC Operation
and Displays (Base Level DIC) on page 3-62 for

Other warning messages are not allowed to be cleared
until the problem indicated by the warning message
is taken care of. When the problem indicated by
the message is resolved, it can be acknowledged and
the screen can be reset.
Be sure to take any message that appears on the
DIC screen seriously and remember that clearing the
messages that are able to be acknowledged, will
only make the message disappear, not correct the
problem.

still exists when the engine is turned off.

when the engine is turned on.
