System Warning Symbols
If there is a problem with your
vehicle, for example, the engine oil
level is low or a door is not fully
closed, the multi-information display
will show you the problem. It does
this by interrupting the current
display with one or more symbols/
messages. Most of the symbols/
messages are displayed for about 5
seconds, and then the current
display returns. Some symbols/
messages stay on until the problem
is corrected.
When your vehicle is new, the multi-
information display shows the
system warning symbols without the
message. This is the default setting
when the vehicle leaves the factory.
You can customize this setting to see
the system warning symbols with
messages (see page 118 ). Some
symbols such as the low outside
temperature, rear seat belt reminder
indicator, etc., do not have a
message.
In this section, the system symbol
with message is used in almost all
examples, but the symbol(s) are the
same for the default setting.

SYSTEM MESSAGE INDICATOR
These symbols/messages also
trigger the appropriate indicator(s)
on the instrument panel and cause
the system message indicator to
come on. The system message
indicator does not go off until the
problem(s) are corrected.
The following pages describe each
system warning symbol/message
that can be displayed. Here is a list of
all messages:
