Capabilities vary by model. See

system limitations. Message and
data rates may apply.
Advanced Diagnostics requires an

Alerts are designed to help
predict specific types of issues
based on information collected
from the vehicle. Other factors
may affect vehicle performance.
Not all issues will deliver alerts.
In some cases, a dealer service
check may be required to
confirm the accuracy of the
alerts.

preferred dealer when it is time
for maintenance. Your dealer will
