DIC Warnings and Messages
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. You can scroll through
the messages that may have been sent at the
same time. The DIC is continuously updated with
the vehicle performance status.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press the RESET button to
acknowledge that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
cleared. You should take any messages 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.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) ACTIVE
This message displays when the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message
is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly.
The message stays on for a few seconds after the
system stops adjusting brake pressure. See
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) on page 279for
more information.
ACTIVE HANDLING
This message displays when the Active Handling
System is operating. The Active Handling
System is a computer controlled system that
assists the driver in controlling the vehicle
in difficult driving conditions. You may feel or hear
the system working and see the ACTIVE
HANDLING message displayed in the DIC. This
message stays on for a few seconds following the
active handling event. This is normal when the
system is operating. SeeActive Handling System
on page 283andBraking on page 278.

SERVICE AIR CONDITIONING
This message displays when the electronic sensors
that control the air conditioning and heating
systems are no longer working. Have the climate
control system serviced by your dealer if you notice
a drop in heating and air conditioning efficiency.
SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKES
If this message displays while you are driving, stop
as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the
message stays on, or comes back on again while
you are driving, your vehicle is in need of service.
See your dealer. If the anti-lock brake system (ABS)
warning light is on and the regular brake system
warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but do
not have ABS. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you do not have ABS and there is a
problem with the brakes. SeeAnti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light on page 197andBrake
System Warning Light on page 196.
If this message is displayed, the Traction Control
System (TCS) and the Active Handling System
will also be disabled. The DIC will scroll three
messages: SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKES,
SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, and SERVICEACTIVE HANDLING, and the instrument panel
cluster lights will come on along with a chime.
When the service message is displayed, the
computer controlled systems will not assist the
driver. Have the system repaired by your dealer as
soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly.
To acknowledge these messages, press the
RESET button.SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM
If this message displays while you are driving,
there may be a problem with the electrical charging
system. It could mean that there is a loose or
broken drive belt or that there is another electrical
problem. Have your vehicle checked right away
by your dealer. Driving while this message is
on could drain the battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the
message on, be certain to turn off the vehicle’s
accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Many features on your vehicle can be personalized.
This means that the operation of these features can
be set to operate differently depending on who is
driving the vehicle. See “Personal Options” later in
this section for the features that you can
personalize.
The personalization settings for other features are
automatically updated and saved as the driver
adjusts them. These include the following settings
and presets:
The radio presets, tone, volume, fade,
balance, equalization (EQ) settings and source
(radio or CD)
The last climate control setting
The Head-Up Display (HUD) position and
dimming level, if your vehicle has this feature
The instrument panel cluster dimming level and
last selected DIC display
Separate personalization settings are saved for two
different drivers. One of the keyless access
transmitters is assigned to driver 1. The other is
assigned to driver 2. The back of the keyless
access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2 to
correspond to each driver.The current driver’s preferences are recalled when
one of the following occurs:
The lock or unlock button on the keyless
access transmitter, labelled 1 or 2, is pressed.
The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located
on the driver’s door is pressed. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on
page 10for more information.
A valid keyless access transmitter is detected
upon opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter
is detected upon opening the driver’s door, the
driver preferences for the lowest driver number will
be recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter that is not
labelled 1 or 2 is used, the personalization system
will not recognize the transmitter. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) will not display a current
driver number and the features that are normally
programmed through the DIC will be set to
the default states. Also, if the OPTION button is
pressed, the DIC does not display the menus used
to set personalizations, but instead displays
OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for a few seconds.
