Default DSC OFF warning Go away!

Is there any way to dismiss the DSC off warning in the message center? I hate having to even press the button for so long. IF I could get rid of it altogether that would be fantastic!!! is there a fuse I can pull and be rid of this bane of existence on my brakes?

You will see a red triangle on the home page of your infotainment screen. Press it and a message will pop up saying clear all warnings. This will remove the DSC Off notification in the center screen of the gauges.

Yep, with two provisos.
If you have more than one warning then you will need to keep pressing those buttons until all the warnings are cleared. Most times only one warning at a time will show, but once you clear it the next one will show and so on.
For example, you can turn DSC off with just the ignition on, no need to have started the engine. But then you will have the "put foot on brake to start" warning showing with the "DSC off" notification hiding behind it. The first pair of button presses will get rid of the "put foot on brake" warning, the second pair will get rid of the DSC Off warning.
Then, once you have cleared all warnings, you will still have an annoying little triangle showing on the lower RH corner of the centre screen. But that is much better than the "DSC Off" message.

I never noticed that red triangle. Even when looking for it, it took me a few seconds to see it! My brakes, rotors, and I thank you.
