SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM – 54:If you ever see
the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message, it
means there may be a problem with your stability
enhancement system. If you see this message, try to
reset the system: stop, turn off the engine, then start the
engine again. If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM
message still comes on, it means there is a problem.
You should see your dealer for service. Reduce
your speed and drive accordingly.
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE – 55:You may see the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you are
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or other
slippery spot on the road. When the system is on, you
may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal.
This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you will know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so
you should consider slowing down.Tire Pressure Status – 144:If you see the CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE message, you should stop as soon as
you can and check all your tires for damage. If a tire
is at, seeIf a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-79. Also check
the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can.

Secondary Information
Center (SIC)
Electronic Compass
If your vehicle has a DIC,
it also is equipped with an
electronic compass. As
with all compasses,
this unit senses the earth’s
magnetic eld to show
the direction the vehicle is
pointing.The earth’s magnetic eld is not always the same
direction as true north as we know it. So, you must enter
a zone number to tell the compass the difference
between magnetic and actual north. This tells the
compass where in the country you are driving.
The compass remembers your zone, so you only have to
change it if you drive to a new zone on the map. The
compass adjusts only a small amount for each zone, so
you may not notice a difference if you drive from one zone
to the next one, until you cross several zones.
