DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the Driver
Information Center (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.
If there is more than one message that needs to
be displayed, they will appear one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate action,
but you should press any of the four DIC buttons on the
steering wheel, if equipped, to acknowledge that you
received the messages and clear them from the display.
If your vehicle is not equipped with DIC buttons on
the steering wheel, press the trip odometer reset stem
located on the instrument panel cluster to acknowledge
messages and clear them from the display. 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.
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.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
On some vehicles, 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 Battery Warning Light on
page 3-41 and Voltmeter Gage on page 3-42.
Pressing any of the four DIC buttons, if equipped,
will acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display. If your vehicle is not equipped with
the four DIC buttons, pressing the trip odometer reset
stem will acknowledge the message and clear it from
the DIC display.
