GM 2000 Automobile User Manual


 
2-82
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that
the life of the engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations” in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must
be reset. See “Oil Life Indicator, How to Reset” in
the Index.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID
- 47: This message
will appear when it is time to replace the transaxle fluid.
See the Maintenance Schedule booklet for the proper
fluid and change intervals.
CHECK BRAKE FLUID
- 37: This message will
display if the ignition is in ON to inform the driver
that the brake fluid level is low. Have the brake system
serviced by a technician as soon as possible. See “Brake
System Warning Light” in the Index.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL
- 2: This message
will appear when there is a low level of engine coolant.
Have the cooling system serviced by a technician as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE
- 50: This message will appear
when the fuel supply is less than 5 gallons (18.9 L) and
the display is turned off. A single chime will also sound
when this message is displayed.
CHECK GAS CAP
- 61: This message will appear if
the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it’s fully tightened.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
- 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on
a level surface. A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and
your vehicle has been parked on level ground with the
engine off for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level, be sure the engine has been off for a
few minutes and your vehicle is on a level surface.
Then check the dipstick and add oil if necessary.
See “Engine Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID
- 25: This message
means that you need washer solvent.
DRIVER DOOR AJAR
- 140: This message will
display anytime the key is in ON, the transaxle is not in
PARK (P) and the driver’s door is open or ajar. A chime
will also sound when the vehicle’s speed is greater than
3 mph (4.8 km/h).
