Should just be the welcome message on startup. You can change it to whatever you want it to sat with the buttons on the right side of cluster.

Owners manual, personalizing the Driver information Center greeting message.

Also, read about the fobs!!!!
Hence the car can be personalized for Fob 1, then change to be personalized for Fob 2 as well.

Also, read the owner manual cover to cover, since it will also cover how to set the memory features, but also how to get in and out of the car if the battery dies. Hence the rear key latch above the rear license plate, the drivers door cable release latch in the left back of the hatch, and the door release levers on the floor inside the cab. Also, how to use the fob slot to start the car when the battery in the fob dies.

When you get done with that, then give the wife the short tour on the same. Hence no once should be allowed in a vet until they understand how to use the safety features on the car!!!!

Just a SWAG. If your report of what is displayed is accurate then this probably isn't the issue but......

There have been reports of displays like EEPROM 3.8, SOFT 7.5, BOOT 3.2, etc messages. The cause frequently was found to be a stuck "Reset" button. May be worth a check.
