WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer
for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see “Maintaining And
Caring For Your Vehicle.” Follow the warnings under
the “Cooling System Pressure Cap” paragraph.
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The EVIC/DID display consists of three sections:
1. The reconfigurable top line where compass, direction,
and outside temperature are displayed.
•Right side default to Ignition Status for those with
push button ignition.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up
messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section.
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 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#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.#

These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start
feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition
is in the MAR/RUN state. Examples of this message type
