Chevrolet 2009 Express Automobile User Manual


 
TIGHTEN GAS CAP
This message may display and a chime may be heard
along with the check engine light on the instrument panel
cluster if the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly.
See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-34. Reinstall
the fuel cap fully. See Filling the Tank on page 5-10.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing
fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should
turn this light and message off.
TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE
If your vehicle has the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), this message displays when the
system is re-learning the tire positions on your vehicle.
See DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-41 for
more information. The tire positions must be re-learned
after rotating the tires or after replacing a tire or
sensor. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-71,
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-66, and
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-64 for more
information.
TRACTION CONTROL OFF
If your vehicle has StabiliTrak, this message displays
when the Traction Control System (TCS) is turned
off. Adjust your driving accordingly. See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-6 for more information.
TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE
Notice: If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission fluid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed
on the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC, you
can damage the transmission. This could lead
to costly repairs that would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not drive your vehicle with
overheated transmission fluid or while the
transmission temperature warning is displayed.
This message displays along with a chime if the
transmission fluid in the vehicle gets hot. Driving with the
transmission fluid temperature high can cause damage to
the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and let it idle to allow the
transmission to cool. This message clears and the chime
stops when the fluid temperature reaches a safe level.
TURN SIGNAL ON
This message displays and a chime sounds if a turn
signal is left on for 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km). Move the turn
signal/multifunction lever to the off position.
