Vehicle Messages

to correct a condition. Multiple
messages may display one after
the other.
Messages that do not require
immediate action can be
acknowledged and cleared by
pressing the SELECT knob.
The messages requiring immediate
action cannot be cleared until that
action is performed. All messages
should be taken seriously. Clearing
the messages does not correct the
