Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press any of the DIC buttons
on the instrument panel to acknowledge that

from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the

that appear on the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
