 GENERAL INFORMATION
The driver message centre display is situated 
within the instrument panel between the 
tachometer and speedometer gauges. The 
message centre is active  as soon as a door is 
opened for access.
The primary function of the message centre is 
to inform the driver of the following:
• Warning messages.
• Temporary alert messages.
• Information messages.
• Turn-by-turn navigation.
The message centre screen is divided into 
various zones displaying the following:
1. Gear selection, automatic or manual.
2. Warning messages, accompanied by a red 
or amber backlight, if system faults are 
detected. Status messages are displayed 
to indicate changes in state of certain 
vehicle functions (e.g. navigation).  When there are no current warning 
messages, turn-by-turn navigation 
information is displayed, giving 
instructions for the next junction. This 
facility can be turned off via the 
touch-screen. See
TURN-BY-TURN 
NAVIGATION  (page 339).
The clock can be shown when no other 
information is required to be displayed. 
See CLOCK  (page 124).
3. Trip computer information, including total 
distance covered by the vehicle. See TRIP 
COMPUTER  (page 107).
4. Set trip computer information display 
relating  A, B  or Auto  trip computer. 
See PERSONALISED SETTINGS 
(page 111).
On diesel and V8  petrol models, the 
electronic engine oil  dipstick reading can 
also be displayed, when selected using the 
trip computer button. See ENGINE OIL 
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines  (page 199).
5. The fuel level gauge. The small arrow on 
the top of the fuel  pump symbol denotes 
which side of the vehi cle the fuel filler cap 
is located.

WARNING AND INFORMATION 
MESSAGES
Most displayed warning messages have an 
associated warning indicator, which will 
illuminate on to indicate  the message priority. 
Also from time to time information messages 
will be displayed.
If more than one message is active, each is 
displayed in turn for two seconds in order of 
priority.
Messages take priority over the trip computer 
data and will be displayed when the ignition is 
on.
Note:  The message centre information 
messages and their meanings, are detailed 
where necessary within the appropriate subject 
sections.
Clearing messages from the display
It is possible to temporarily clear certain 
warning or information messages from the 
message centre.
When a message is displayed in the message 
centre (e.g.  WASHER FLUID LOW ), a red 
warning triangle icon appears on the 
touch-screen, where shown.
Touch the icon to temporarily stop the 
currently displayed message from appearing. 
Once the message is removed, the colour of 
the warning icon in the message centre 
changes to white, as a reminder that an 
outstanding message exists. 
Note:  Certain warnings, that are critical for the 
safe operation of the vehi cle, cannot be cleared 
from the display.
Note:  If multiple messages are displayed, this 
process can be repeated to remove all 
messages from the display.
Removed messages will display again, 
whenever the ignition is switched on, until the 
fault is rectified (i.e. in this example, when the 
washer fluid is topped up).
WARNING
If a warning indicato r is displayed, 
stop the vehicle as  soon as possible 
when it is safe to do so. Do not ignore 
critical warning messages. Failure to do so 
may result in serious damage to the vehicle.
