ICUC Alert Messages

Alert messages are displayed when certain conditions occur. They include warnings, cautions, and notices that require the driver’s attention. Not all alert messages are critical to the operation of the vehicle. More important messages take priority over less important messages. The header text and color indicates the priority of the on-screen message, listed from the highest to the lowest:

• Warning (red)

• Caution (amber)

• Status/Informational (blue, green, white, and grey)

Warnings alert the driver to situations or conditions that may pose a threat to control of the vehicle. Follow all instructions given in the message.

Cautions alert the driver to situations or conditions that may result in damage to vehicle components, or derating of engine power.

Status notices alert the driver to situations or conditions that may improve fuel efficiency or improve vehicle drivability.

See Fig. for typical alert messages.

Watch for Ice Alert

When ambient air temperature drops below 34°F (1°C), a Watch For ICE caution, as shown in Fig., appears. To acknowledge and dismiss the caution message, press the back button in the left-hand steering wheel switch pod. A 34°F (1°C) temperature also triggers the appearance of a snowflake telltale next to the temperature display. The snowflake telltale displays until the ambient air temperature rises to 37°F (3°C).

If the temperature drops below 34°F (1°C) after rising above 37°F (3°C), the Watch For ICE popup and snowflake will reappear.
