Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
Displays
The EVIC display consists of three sections:
1. The top line where compass direction, odometer line
and outside temperature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up
messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section below the odom-
eter line.
The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays pop upmessages that consist of approximately 60 possible warn-
ing or information messages. These pop up messages fall
into several categories:
•Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of
the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the
condition that activated it remains active) and can be
reviewed from the Messagesmain menu item. As long
as there is a stored message, an iwill be displayed in the
EVIC’s compass/outside temp line. Examples of this
message type are Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out
and Low Tire Pressure.
•Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Examples

sion with the vehicle in front and prompts the
driver to take action in order to avoid the
collision. For further information, refer to
“Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Understanding

•Power Steering System Over Temperature — If
Equipped If the “POWER STEERING SYSTEM OVER
TEMP” message and a icon are displayed on
the EVIC screen, it indicates that extreme steer-
ing maneuvers may have occurred, which
caused an over temperature condition in the power
steering system. You will lose power steering assistance momentarily until the over temperature condition no
longer exists. Once driving conditions are safe, then pull
over and let vehicle idle. After five minutes, the system
will cool and return to normal operation. Refer to “Power
Steering” in “Starting and Operating” for further infor-
mation.
NOTE:•Even if power steering assistance is no longer opera-
tional, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under
these conditions there will be a substantial increase in
steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds
and during parking maneuvers.
•If the condition persists, see your authorized dealer for
service.
