Warnings and Messages

If a problem is sensed in one of your

vehicle’s systems, a warning or mes-

sage will appear in the DIC display (see

your Owner Manual for a complete list

of possible warnings and messages).

After a warning or message appears,

press the

button to clear the display

screen for further use. Remember,

pressing the

button only makes the

message disappear; it does not resolve the problem.

Note: Your vehicle’s warnings and mes- sages provide critical information that can prevent damage to your vehicle. Review your Owner Manual to become familiar with the information displayed and the action required.

If your Check Engine light or any other warning message appears, you can press the OnStar button and speak to an OnStar Advisor. In many vehicles, OnStar Advisors can access certain diagnostic information and tell you how serious the problem is and what you should do about it.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
