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.

(Remote Start) (if equipped): If your vehicle has this feature, it can be used to start the engine. (See Remote Vehicle Start.)

(Lock): Press this button when all doors are closed to immediately lock all the doors. The interior lamps will also turn off. If enabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC), the parking lamps will flash once and/or the horn will chirp to indicate locking has occurred.

If the Lock button is pressed while any door is open and the Delayed Lock fea- ture is enabled, the doors will not lock. Instead, a chime will sound. Once all doors are closed, the doors will lock. To cancel this delay, press the Lock button a second time within five seconds or press the power door lock switch.

(Unlock): Press this button to unlock the driver’s door. Press it again within five seconds to unlock all remaining doors. (This is the default DIC setting for Vehicle Unlocking.) The interior lamps will illuminate and remain on for 20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on. If enabled through the DIC, the parking lamps will flash twice and the horn will chirp twice to indicate unlocking has occurred.
