Message Center

The Message Center is above the brow of the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine Soon, High Beam, Left and Right turn signals, Security Alarm Set, and Low Oil Pressure. On base models equipped with the 3-speed transaxle, these indicators appear in the face of the cluster. The Security Alarm set indicator is now a large red circle symbol.

Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is coordinated with indicators in the message center and EVIC where used to avoid redundancy. A revised safety standard now requires that the seat belt warning lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out indicator is used to alert the driver when a headlamp is not functioning.
