Ford Fiesta: Instrumentation, Message Center and Warning Chimes / Message Center - Overview. Description and Operation

The message center functions are displayed in the FDIM (6.5 inch display) or the FCDIM (3.5 inch display) and are controlled through the FCIM or FDIM . The IPC provides most network messages over the Infotainment Controller Area Network (I-CAN) used to display the warning messages and message center indicators in the message center. The IPC constantly monitors different vehicle systems and provides the message center with the network messages required to display all message center indicators and warnings based upon the inputs received. Some of the message center indicators are unique while some are icons that appear the same as the informational or warning indicators used in the IPC . Refer to the Owner's Literature for a complete listing of all the indicators displayed in the message center.
