This vehicle is past the basic warranty and the dashboard cover has shrunk and is covering part of the passenger side air bag. I expect that the cover will continue to shrink and cover more of the air bag.
THE "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE TAKES OVER THE DISPLAY EVERY 3 MINUTES NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING WITH THE VEHICLE. IT ALWAYS INCREASES THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DISPLAY TO MAXIMUM AND THE INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE PERSISTS FOR 10 SECONDS. 1. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE MESSAGE CAN OVERRIDE THE REVERSE OBSTACLE SENSORS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I TESTED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN MOVING AND ALL INFORMATION FROM THE SENSORS WOULD HAVE BEEN OCCLUDED. 2. WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD AT NIGHT, THE SUDDEN FULL-BRIGHTNESS DISPLAY OF THE "CHANGE ENGINE OIL" INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE CREATES A DISTRACTION THAT COULD EASILY BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AVERAGE NIGHT VISION. THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY FOR THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE THIS INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE DISPLAY OR DISABLE IT.
