just the text disappears. If you acknowledge
a message but do not rectify the problem,
the message will be shown the next time the
car is started.
When the engine is switched off the warn-
ing/indicator lights still active are displayed,
this is to remind the driver. At this point the
warning/indicator lights previously acknowl-
edged with the CLR button are also dis-
played.
In some of the car's systems, such as the
alarm and rain sensor, you can make your
own settings. See page 75.
