The instrument cluster is equipped with a message center that can display 17 different messages. This feature provides the driver with specific warning/status messages associated with certain vehicle malfunctions and/or instructions to perform. Many messages coincide with indicators and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that may be set. The following table indicates possible messages that may be displayed by the cluster and what system is responsible for sending the request:
