should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits
of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system
could damage your vehicle. If the tempera-
ture gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi-
tioner turned off until the pointer drops back
into the normal range. If the pointer remains
on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes,
turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.

played.
2. The main display area where the menus and
pop up messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section below
the odometer 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 up" messages that consist of ap-
proximately 60 possible warning 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 condi-
tion that activated it remains active) and can be
reviewed from the "Messages"main menu item.
As long as there is a stored message, an "i"will
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 of this message type are
"Turn Signal On" (if a turn signal is left on) and
"Lights On" (if driver leaves the vehicle).
169

•Unstored Messages Until RUN
These messages deal primarily with the Re-
mote Start feature. This message type is dis-
played until the ignition is in the RUN state.
Examples of this message type are "Remote
