Message Priority (Freelander 2)

Depending on the importance of the messages (from the point of view of traffic safety and maintaining the vehicle's performance characteristics), messages are assigned a certain priority. New messages are displayed on the screen and accompanied by an audible signal emanating from the instrument panel. Messages are divided into three priority groups.

Priority Group 1

This group includes messages about changes in the vehicle systems that directly affect its controllability and driving safety. An example is the message 'ENGINE SYSTEM FAULT'. Such messages require urgent and immediate response from the driver. Group 1 messages are accompanied by the flashing of the corresponding indicator lamp and a continuous sound signal from the instrument cluster. If several vehicle systems simultaneously generate group 1 messages, these messages appear on the display one after the other (each for 3 seconds), and then this sequence is repeated cyclically.

Priority Group 2

The second group contains messages about changes in the vehicle systems that do not pose an immediate risk to safety or indicate a deterioration in performance, such as 'CHECK BRAKE PADS'. The driver should pay attention to these messages and correct the cause of their occurrence as soon as possible. Each of these messages is displayed once when power mode 6 is entered or when a fault occurs for a preset period of time. The message can be recalled by the driver by pressing the trip meter reset button for at least three seconds.

Priority Group 3

Messages in this group, such as 'LOW WASHER FLUID', have low priority. Some of these messages may only appear on the display at the end of a journey to avoid distracting the driver while driving. The driver can be alerted to the existence of such messages by an audible signal when the ignition is switched off.
