messages. Pressing any of the DIC steering wheel
buttons — trip information, fuel information,
customization, or select button — will also
acknowledge any warnings or service messages.
You should take any message that appears on
the display seriously and remember that clearing
the message will only make the message
disappear, not correct the problem.
