Vehicle Messages

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.
Multiple messages may appear one
after another. Some messages may
not require immediate action, but
you can press the set/reset button
to acknowledge that you received
the message and clear it from the
DIC display. Pressing any of the
DIC buttons also acknowledges
and clears any messages. Some
messages cannot be cleared from
the DIC display because they are
more urgent. These messages
require action before they can
be cleared. 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.
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
This message displays when
the system detects that the
battery voltage is dropping beyond
a reasonable level. The battery
saver system starts reducing
certain features of the vehicle that
you may be able to notice. At the
point that the features are disabled,
this message is displayed. It means
that the vehicle is trying to save the
charge in the battery.
Turn off all unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery
to recharge.
The normal battery voltage range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts.
