Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press any of the DIC buttons
to acknowledge that you received the message
and clear it from the DIC display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
cleared.
If there are any active warning messages when the
vehicle is turned off, two chimes sound and the DIC
goes into a reminder mode. The reminder mode
displays any active message. If there are multiple
messages, the DIC displays each message for
five seconds. After each active message is
displayed once, the reminder mode turns off.
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.
A/C OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION
This message displays when the engine coolant
becomes hotter than the normal operating
temperature. See Engine Coolant Temperature
Gage on page 228. To avoid added strain on a hot
engine, the air conditioning compressor is
automatically turned off. When the coolant
temperature returns to normal, the air conditioning
compressor turns back on. You can continue to
drive your vehicle.
This message comes on while the ignition is in
RUN. Press any of the DIC buttons to acknowledge
this warning message and to clear it from the
screen.
This message continues to display for two seconds
if it has not been acknowledged when the engine is
turned off. It also re-displays for two seconds if the
message has been acknowledged, but the
condition still exists when the engine is turned off.
If the condition still exists, the message re-appears
when the engine is turned on. If this message
continues to appear, have the system repaired by
your retailer as soon as possible to avoid
damage to the engine.
