yellowblue DIC Warnings and Messages The following messages and warnings may appear in the DIC display. The DIC display area is located in the instrument cluster below the speedometer and tachometer, directly above the steering column. You may receive more than one message at a time. Messages will appear one behind the other. To acknowledge a message and remove it from the display, press RESET. You may scroll through the messages that may have been sent at the same time. The message center is continuously updated with the vehicle performance status. ABS ACTIVE (Anti-Lock Brake System Active): When your anti-lock system is adjusting brake pressure to help avoid a braking skid, the ABS ACTIVE message will be displayed. Slippery road conditions may exist if this message is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. The message will stay on for a few seconds after the system stops adjusting brake pressure. ACT HNDLING WARMING UP: When you first start you vehicle (especially in during cold winter weather), and begin to drive away (up to 6 mph (10 km/h)), the message ACT HNDLING WARMING UP may be displayed in the DIC, the instrument cluster light will be on, and a chime will sound. This is normal. You can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. The Active Handling system performance is affected until the next message WARM UP COMPLETE is displayed in the DIC. WARM UP COMPLETE : If you receive this message and hear a chime, the system has completed the functional check of the Active Handling System. TRAC/ACT HNDLG - ON: If the Traction Control and Active Handling Systems are off, depressing the Active Handling System console button momentarily will turn both systems on. The message TRAC/ACT HNDLG - ON will be displayed temporarily in the DIC, the instrument cluster light will be off and a chime will sound. 2-102
