SYSTEM WARNINGS AND STATUS MESSAGES
System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your
vehicle’s operating systems.
Note: Depending on the vehicle options equipped with your vehicle, not
all of the messages will display or be available.
In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will cycle
the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for a few seconds.
The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no
more warning messages.
Types of messages and warnings:
• Some messages will appear briefly to inform you of something you
may need to take action on or be informed of.
• Some messages will appear once and then again when the vehicle is
restarted.
• Some messages will reappear after clearing or being reset if a problem
or condition is still present and needs your attention.
• Some messages can be acknowledged and reset by pressing OK. This
allows you to use the full message center functionality by clearing the
message.
