The SID unit can be used by all connected systems to show CHECK messages. When the ignition is turned ON, "CHECKING" appears for approx. 4 seconds, after which a CHECK message is shown if one is active.

The message "KEY NOT ACCEPTED" is displayed without the 4-second delay.

If a CHECK message is initiated, an acoustic signal is heard, the INFO DISPL lamp in the main instrument unit lights and a message is shown. If the message is preceded by a (+) sign, more than one message has been activated.

CHECK messages are shown in the following order of priority:

  1. KEY NOT ACCEPTED
  2. CHECK OIL LEVEL
  3. CHECK SOFT TOP STORAGE
  4. CLOSE TRUNK LID
  5. CHECK SOFT TOP LATCHES
  6. FINISH SOFT TOP MOTION
  7. CHECK SOFT TOP COVER
  8. SOFT TOP FAILURE
  9. CHECK SOFT TOP
  10. STOP FOR FUEL
  11. TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING
  12. BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE
  13. FRONT LIGHT FAILURE
  14. FOG LIGHT FAILURE
  15. REAR LIGHT FAILURE
  16. WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW
  17. FILL COOLANT FLUID
  18. SERVICE THEFT ALARM
  19. REPLACE KEY BATTERY
  20. TIME FOR SERVICE

WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW is displayed after a 70-second delay and FILL COOLANT FLUID is displayed after a 30-second delay (not when ignition ON "CHECKING").

The driver acknowledges a message by pressing any button except NIGHT PANEL. If more than one message is activated, the next message is displayed in the same way. When a message has been acknowledged, it is not shown again.
