GMC 2008 Acadia - Manual (Page 208)

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. Multiple messages may appear one after
another.
Some messages may not require immediate action,
but you can press any of the DIC buttons on the
instrument panel or the trip odometer reset stem on
the instrument panel cluster to acknowledge that
you received the messages and to clear them from
the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be cleared. You should
take any messages that appear on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the messages will only
make the messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can be
displayed and some information about them.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF
If your vehicle has the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system,
this message displays when there is a compact
spare tire on the vehicle, when the Antilock Brake
System (ABS) warning light comes on, or when the
rear differential fluid is overheating. This message
turns off when the differential fluid cools.
The AWD system is disabled until the compact spare
tire is replaced by a full-size tire. If the warning message
is still on after putting on the full-size tire, you need to
reset the warning message. To reset the warning
message, turn the ignition off and then back on again
after 30 seconds. If the message stays on, see your
dealer/retailer right away. See All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
System on page 4-9 for more information.
AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL OFF
This message displays when the automatic
headlamps are turned off. This message clears
itself after 10 seconds.
AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL ON
