2009 Acura MDX Owner's Manual - Page 318

Main Menu ® Table Of Contents AcuraLink (U.S. models only) Diagnostic Info When an indicator comes on or a message is displayed on the MultiInformation Display (MID), AcuraLink can provide information about the cause of the indicator or message and the recommended action to address it. This helps you handle the problem as it occurs, preventing or limiting costly repairs. The AcuraLink system cannot determine some mechanical problems (such as squeaks or rattles) that are not triggered by the diagnostic indicator monitors. For more information on the instrument panel indicators, see page 64. When an indicator comes on or a message is displayed on the MID, AcuraLink immediately notifies you with the message, ''An indicator is on. AcuraLink can help you decide what to do.'' If you do not want the information right away, select the Check Later option. If you want the information now, select the Check Now option. (If the navigation screen is not active, you must select OK from the navigation disclaimer screen before you can check the information.) Depending on the severity of the problem, the message will let you know if you should see your dealer immediately or if you can wait until a later date. 314 2009 MDX
