DIC Warnings and Messages

Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the driver
that the status of the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by the driver to correct
the condition. More than one message may appear at
one time. They will appear one after the other. Some
messages may not require immediate action, but
you should press the trip stem on the instrument panel
cluster to acknowledge that you received the message
and to clear it from the display. Pressing any of
the DIC steering wheel buttons — trip information, fuel
information, customization, or select button — will
also acknowledge any warnings or service messages.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the display
because they are more urgent. These messages require
action before they can be removed from the DIC
display. The following are the possible messages that
can be displayed and some information about them.

BATTERY NOT CHARGING

If the battery is not charging during operation, this
message will appear on the DIC. Driving with this
problem could drain your battery. Have the electrical
system checked by your GM dealer as soon as possible.
See Voltmeter Gage on page 3-32. Press the select
button to acknowledge this message and clear it from
the DIC display.

CHANGE ENGINE OIL

This message is displayed when the engine oil needs
to be changed and service is required for your vehicle.
See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 and Engine
Oil
on page 5-15 for more information. Also see Engine
Oil Life System
on page 5-18 for information on how
to reset the message. This message will clear itself after
10 seconds until the next ignition cycle.

CHECK WASHER FLUID

If the washer fluid level is low, this message will appear
on the DIC. Adding washer fluid to the windshield
washer fluid reservoir will clear the message. See
Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-35. Press the select
button to acknowledge this message and clear it from
the DIC display.

CURB VIEW ACTIVATED

The CURB VIEW ACTIVATED message is displayed
when the passenger outside rearview mirror moves into
the curb view position. See Outside Curb View Assist
Mirror
on page 2-40 for more information.
