SERVICE RIDE CONTROL: This message is used to indicate to the driver that the Selective Real Time Damping system has detected a malfunction and that the system must be serviced.

You will never get a SHOCKS INOPERATIVE and MAXIMUM SPEED 80 MPH (129 km/h) message without a SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message. SHOCKS INOPERATIVE: You will hear four chimes when this message is displayed. To acknowledge that you have read the message and to remove it from the display, press RESET. The message will reappear every 10 minutes until this condition changes. This message indicates that a malfunction is present in the Selective Real Time Damping system which is causing the shocks to be in their full soft mode.
