PART 7: STARTING & OPERATING THE VEHICLE
PB1319 (CAT. NO. 5296 ) —95— 22-01691 (R02/02)
preemption includes other warning messages from earlier alarms - and
some of these alarms may not have other indicators. Therefore, it is
very important that you check the SMC to be aware of all alarm condi-
tions that may exist in your vehicle’s systems - especially during the
start-up procedure. A summary of alarms and indicators is at the end of
this part. Follow this procedure to check all SMC warning messages.
1. Observe the first message displayed after the SMC comes on.
• If the odometer is displayed, continue with the start-up procedure.
• If a warning message is displayed instead of the odometer, it is
being generated by the multiplex instrumentation system:
-Look in the summary to identify the alarm (gauge).
-Go to the description of that gauge in PART 4: CONTROLS AND
DISPLAYS and take the actions indicated to correct the condi-
tion.
2. Continue to check and act on all warning messages until the
odometer is displayed.
