Triffin--
I did all things you suggested, but it won't clear. Gilly replied to my other posting saying that this is an auto protect mode if there's something wrong with the a/c system, so I guess I'll have to get it checked out.
I verified that the coolant is orange.
The color combo is tourqouise exterior and parchment interior. I'll post a pic soon.
I'll keep you posted on the a/c issue.
Thanks again,
Charlie
