Message Center

The message center is located in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) at the bottom of the speedometer. It is a two-line display that gives the odometer, trip odometer, warning and information messages.

With the key in adaptive cruise control (ACC), the odometer and trip odometer are shown. With the key in RUN, the entire message center liquid crystal display (LCD) is commanded on for a few seconds to check the display segments.

Information or warning messages show in the top line of the message center. Information messages have a higher priority than the odometer. If there are several messages, each message will be shown for a few seconds before the next message is displayed. The list of messages repeats. Each message can be cleared for that key cycle by momentarily pressing the trip reset button when the message is displayed. Several messages will also cause a chime to sound as a driver alert.

When the ignition key is OFF, the odometer and trip odometer can be displayed by pressing the trip reset stem once. The message center will show both odometer readings for a few seconds, then go off.
