seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of
the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the

the EVIC’s compass/outside temp line. Examples of this
message type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out”
and “Low Tire Pressure”.

is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver leaves the vehicle).
•Unstored Messages Until RUN
These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start
feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition
is in the RUN state. Examples of this message type are
“Remote Start Aborted - Door Ajar” and “Press Brake
Pedal and Push Button to Start”.
•Five Second Unstored Messages

message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. An

indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will display in the EVIC display for approximately 10
