In the event of a multiple warning situation, the M/C will cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each warning message for 4 seconds. Using the message center while a warning is active If you want to display the operator selectable features of the M/C while a warning is displayed, the warning message may be removed from the M/C display by pressing the RESET switch. The M/C will display the last selected feature if there are no more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of the M/C after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the RESET switch and clearing the warning message. Warning messages which have been reset are divided into two categories. They will reappear on the display in 10 minutes from the reset or they will not reappear until an ignition key OFF-ON cycle. This reappearing of warning messages is a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within the vehicle. Warnings may be repeatedly reset. All warning messages will reappear after an entire SYSTEM CHECK sequence has been completed. 102
