See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 228 and Manual Transmission Fluid on page 355 for more information. 212 Warning Messages The warning messages that are described in the following text are also shown in the tachometer display. While any warning messages are shown, pressing (A) or (B) will acknowledge the warning and then display the gage relating to the message. For instance, if a tire is below the minimum recommended pressure, the tire pressure warning message will blink on and off (ﬁve times for a low tire warning, continuously for a ﬂat tire warning). The driver can go to the tire pressure display immediately by pressing either button on the outboard switch. Tire Pressure When the tire pressure is displayed you will see a vehicle in the display. The numbers in each corner represent the tire pressure for the corresponding tire. The tire pressure will be displayed in psi or kPa. If any of the tires are blinking on the vehicle in the display, this means that the tire pressure in that tire is either high or low. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 405 for more information. Lateral Acceleration Lateral acceleration is a measure of how hard you are taking a corner. For example, when you are turning right you will feel your body push to the left. This force is measured in a “g”. This gage will display from 0.00 g to 1.2 g. The lowest reading means there is no lateral acceleration. The highest reading means the force the driver is feeling is 1.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. When (B) is pressed and held while the Lateral Acceleration display is being shown, the peak hold values—both tick marks and numbers—will be reset to zero. 213 Transmission Fluid Hot Message When you see this ﬂashing symbol, the transmission ﬂuid temperature is high (290°F (143°C)). To acknowledge this warning, press either button on the outboard switch on the left spoke of the steering wheel. After you press this button, the warning will redisplay every 10 minutes until the temperature returns to the normal operating range. If this message appears, you may continue to drive at a slower speed while monitoring the transmission ﬂuid temperature. Ideally, the transmission oil temperature should not rise above 265°F (129°C). If you regularly experience temperatures above this limit due to high performance operation, it is recommended to use an auxiliary ﬂuid cooler for the transmission and differential. See your dealer for details. If this warning is displayed during normal vehicle operation on ﬂat roads, your vehicle may need service. See your dealer for an inspection. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 228 and Manual Transmission Fluid on page 355 for more information. 214 Hot Coolant Temperature Warning Message When you see this ﬂashing symbol, the engine coolant temperature is high (257°F (125°C)).

For more information, contact XM™; In the U.S. at www.xmradio.com or call 1-800-852-XMXM (9696) or in Canada at www.xmradio.ca or call 1-877-GET-XMSR (438-9677). CLOCK/INFO DISP (Clock/Information Display): Press the CLOCK/INFO DISP button to switch between the clock display, the XM™ screen, and the XM™ information display. Radio Data System (RDS) The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio can do the following: (cid:127) Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming (cid:127) Receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies (cid:127) Display messages from radio stations (cid:127) Seek to stations with traffic announcements This system relies upon receiving speciﬁc information from these stations and will only work when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station. While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station name or call letters will appear on the display instead of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the program being broadcast. 261 Press this button while in XM™ mode to retrieve three different categories of information related to the current song or channel: Artist, Song Title, and Category.
