TRACTION SYSTEM – ON: You will hear a single
quick tone when this message is displayed. This
message is displayed when you decide to turn on the
Traction Control System by pressing the Active Handling
System console button on the console. This message
will shut off automatically on its own.
TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE: You will hear
four chimes when this message is displayed. To
acknowledge this warning, press the RESET button.
After you press the RESET button, the message will be
displayed every 10 minutes until the condition changes.
If you do not press the RESET button, the message
remains on the display until the condition changes.
If the transmission fluid temperature rises above 270°F
(132°C) or rises rapidly, this message is displayed.
The transmission may shift gears or apply the torque
converter clutch to reduce the fluid temperature. Driving
aggressively or driving on long hills can cause the
transmission fluid temperature to be higher than normal.
If this message appears, you may continue to drive at
a slower speed. You should also monitor the
transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at
least 230°F (110°C). The transmission fluid temperature
can be monitored with the gages button on the DIC.
See Automatic Transmission Fluid on page 5-21.
You should also check the engine coolant temperature.
If it is also hot, see Engine Overheating on page 5-25.
If the TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE message is
displayed during normal vehicle operation on flat
roads, your vehicle may need service. See your
GM dealer for an inspection.
TURN SIGNAL ON: If a turn signal is left on for
three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km), this message will

the turn signal/multifunction lever to the off position.
To acknowledge this message, press the RESET button.
UNLATCH HEADER TO MOVE TOP: This message
will display and a chime will sound if you try to lower the
convertible top without first unlocking the top. Move
