DIC Warnings and Messages

Warning 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. If there is more than one
message that needs to be displayed they will appear
one after another. Some messages may not require
immediate action but you should press the select button
or the trip odometer reset stem on the instrument panel
cluster to acknowledge that you received the message
and clear it from the display. Some messages cannot be
cleared from the display because they are more
urgent; these messages require action before they can
be removed from the DIC display. The following are
the possible messages that can be displayed and some
information about them. For information on other DIC
messages, see "DIC Warnings and Messages" in
the owner manual Index.
HOOD OPEN
If the hood is not fully closed or there is a problem with
the hood switch, this message will be displayed. Close
the hood to clear the message. If the HOOD OPEN
message continues to be displayed after verifying the
hood is closed, you should have the hood switch
serviced. Pressing the select button or the trip odometer
reset stem on the instrument panel cluster will
acknowledge this message and clear it from the DIC
display.
When this message is displayed, the auto stop
function will not operate. If the vehicle is in auto stop
mode when this message appears, the engine will
instantly start.
