COMPETITIVE DRIVING: When the Competitive Driving mode is selected, this message will be displayed in the DIC. The instrument panel cluster light will not be on when the Competitive Driving mode is selected. The Traction Control System will not be operating while in the Competitive Driving mode. You should adjust your driving accordingly. SERVICE ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System): If the SERVICE ABS message is displayed when you are driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the message stays on, or comes back on again while you are driving, your vehicle is in need of service. If the regular brake system warning light isn't on, you still have brakes, but don't have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system light is also on, you don't have anti-lock brakes and there is a problem with your brakes. See "Brake System Warning Light" earlier in this section. If the SERVICE ABS message is being displayed, your traction control system and the optional active handling system will also be disabled. The driver information center will scroll three messages: SERVICE ABS, SERVICE TRACTION SYS and SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG, and the instrument cluster car icon will be illuminated. The driver can acknowledge these messages by pressing the reset button three times. When the service message is displayed the computer controlled systems will not assist the driver and you should have the system repaired as soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly. SERVICE COLUMN LOCK (Manual Transmission Only): If the system that controls the locking and unlocking of the steering column does not work properly, have the vehicle towed to a dealer for service. PULL KEY - WAIT 10 SEC: If this message comes on, the steering column lock system has detected a problem while engaging the steering column lock. This message may occur when the ignition key is removed and reinserted before the steering column lock system fully locks or unlocks the steering column. To acknowledge that you have read this message, and to clear it from the display, remove the ignition key and wait 10 seconds before reinserting the key into the ignition. If you attempt to operate your vehicle without removing the key for 10 seconds, the vehicle's fuel system will shut off when you reach 1.5 mph (2.4 km/h). If the message stays on after removing the key and waiting 10 seconds, have your vehicle taken to an authorized dealer as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair. 2-104
