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 3-38. 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 5-16 for more information. Also see Engine
Oil Life System on page 5-20 for information on how
to reset the message. This message will clear itself after
10 seconds until the next ignition cycle.
