CHECK messages: General

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

The following message is shown direct (without a 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. TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING
  3. BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE
  4. FRONT LIGHT FAILURE
  5. FOG LIGHT FAILURE
  6. REAR LIGHT FAILURE
  7. WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW
  8. FILL COOLANT FLUID
  9. SERVICE THEFT ALARM
  10. REPLACE KEY BATTERY
  11. TIME FOR SERVICE
  12. TIGHTEN FUEL FILLER CAP
  13. CHECK OIL LEVEL
  14. STOP FOR FUEL

WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW is shown after a 70 second delay and FILL COOLANT FLUID is shown 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 acknowledged in the same way. When a message has been acknowledged, it is not shown again. If the messages are not acknowledged, they are deleted from the display automatically at the rate of one message per minute.
