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 any of the DIC buttons, or the trip odometer reset stem on the instrument cluster, to acknowledge that you received the messages and to clear them from the display.

You will find the possible messages that can be displayed and some information about them grouped by subject in the following information.
