With your car stopped, engine on, reset the RTF indicator.
After doing this you can drive normally and the system will be ready some minutes later. After being ready you can see there in the RTF menu the indication ACTIVE.

Many thanks...for both the helpful advice and the welcoming comments!
The procedure worked like a charm...after approximately 5 minutes of driving. How nice to have the bottom row of the display returned to normal.
More generally, it's very helpful to know where to go for that sort of thing now. I'd checked the car's owner's manual, but hadn't been able to find the directions for resetting the device.
By the way, the indicator had been tripped by the fact that one of the tires had dropped a couple of more pounds than the others. In othert words, the system seems pretty sensitive.
Again, thanks very much!
