Message Center: Notes
The coolant temperature and fuel quantity gauges are the default display in the message center when the stop/start button is pressed. These can be overwritten through the guidance of message center menus, to obtain different permutations of screens which are available to communicate vehicle information and status data to the driver.
Menu Control
The driver operates the message center using the 'menu control' located on the right-hand-side of the steering wheel. A preference menu is available which allows the driver to personalize certain features and functions in the message center.
Messages displayed in the message center are mainly generated by the instrument cluster which monitors system status via the medium-speed and high-speed controller area network (CAN) bus systems. Other system control modules are also capable of generating messages to communicate system status. Some messages are accompanied by a chime, which is requested by the control module generating the message and functioned by the instrument cluster via the integral sounder.
The driver can view system status messages which are current in the instrument cluster random access memory (RAM), by pressing and releasing the menu control to display current messages in priority order; refer to 'Warning Messages'.
