The main display area will normally display the main

menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main

menu. The main display area also displays “pop up”

messages that consist of approximately 60 possible warn-

ing or information messages. These pop up messages fall

into several categories:
Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of

message takes control of the main display area for five

seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of

the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the

condition that activated it remains active) and can be

reviewed from the “Messages” main menu item. As long

as there is a stored message, an “i” will be displayed in

the DID’s compass/outside temp line. Examples of this

message type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out”

and “Low Tire Pressure”.
