DIC Warnings and Messages These messages will appear if there is a problem detected in one of your vehicle's systems. Any message will clear when the vehicle's condition is no longer present. To acknowledge a message and clear it from the display, press any of the three DIC buttons. The warning message will come back on the next time the vehicle is turned off and back on if the condition is still present. With most messages, a warning chime will sound when the message is displayed. Your vehicle may have other warning messages. AUTO (Automatic) LIGHTS OFF: This message will display if the automatic headlamp system is disabled with the headlamp switch. AUTO (Automatic) LIGHTS ON: This message will display if the automatic headlamp system is enabled with the headlamp switch. BRAKE FLUID: This message will display to inform the driver that the brake fluid level is low while the ignition is in ON. Have the brake system serviced by your GM dealer as soon as possible. CHANGE OIL SOON: This message will display when the life of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed. When you acknowledge the CHANGE OIL SOON message by clearing it from the display, you still must reset the engine oil life system separately. See Engine Oil Life System on page 5-20, Engine Oil on page 5-17, and Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 for more information. CHECK GAS CAP: This message will display if the gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should recheck your gas cap to make sure that it is on properly. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the message off. DOOR AJAR: This message will display if one or more of the vehicle's doors are not closed properly. When this message displays, you should make sure that the door is closed completely. ENGINE DISABLED: This message will display if the starting of the engine is disabled. Have your vehicle serviced immediately by your GM dealer. 3-50
