Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation
INFORMATION AND MESSAGE CENTER
The message center is a fixed format vacuum fluorescent display, integrated into the instrument cluster. The message center functions are controlled by
the message center switches. The message center displays important vehicle information by constantly monitoring different vehicle systems. The message
center informs the driver of vehicle operations and notifies the driver of potential vehicle problems by displaying a warning message pertaining to the
system in which a fault has been detected.
The message center provides the following features:
-
Information displays
-
Setup displays
-
System check messages
-
System warning messages
The message center information can be selected through a set of 3 buttons:
-

Message Center Configuration
The message center has the capability to configure items such as units (English or metric), autolamp delay, to enable/disable a variety of options such
as autolock, auto-unlock and easy entry/easy exit (if equipped), or to carry out calibrations/settings on items such as the compass.
On configurable items such as autolock, auto-unlock or easy entry/easy exit the message center indicates the appropriate selection (ON/OFF) by
bracketing the selection. For example, if the driver selects the autolock feature on, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK <ON> OFF. If
the driver selects the autolock off, the message would display as follows: AUTOLOCK AID ON <OFF>.
Compass Display
The message center provides a compass display and uses directional information sent from a compass module, located on the underside of the inside
rear view mirror.
