Driver Information Center (DIC) Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the problem. You must
then press INFO or INFO RESET to clear the display
screen for further use. However, be sure to take any
message that appears on the display screen seriously and
remember that pressing the INFO or INFO RESET button
will only make the message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French, German,
Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to have the
language display adjusted for your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
-
7: This message
will appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
-
27: This message
is displayed when the vehicle has detected that the
battery voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point.
The battery saver system will start reducing certain
features of the vehicle that you may not be able to
notice. At the point that features are disabled, this
message is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying
to save the charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to recharge.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
-
8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging
(more than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your dealership. You can
reduce the charging overload by using the accessories.
Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate control on
AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window
defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage on the
DIC by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
-
6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging
less than 10.5 volts or if the battery has been drained.
If this message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible that the generator can still recharge the
battery. The battery should recharge while driving but
may take a few hours to do so. Consider using an
auxiliary charger (be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions) to boost the battery after returning home
or to a final destination. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to determine the cause of this
problem. To help the generator recharge the battery
quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical system
by turning off the accessories. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
