status of the vehicle has changed
and action may be needed to
correct the condition. Multiple
messages appear one after another.
Press any of the DIC buttons on the
indicator lever to acknowledge and
clear them from the display. More
urgent messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display. All messages
should be taken seriously. Clearing
messages will not correct the

The messages and information
about them follow.
