REDUCED ENGINE POWER This message displays when the vehicle is reducing engine power because the transmission is being placed in gear under conditions that may cause damage to the vehicle's engine, transmission, or ability to accelerate. Reduced engine power can affect the vehicle's ability to accelerate. If this message is on, but there is no reduction in performance, proceed to your destination. The performance may be reduced the next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may be driven at a reduced speed while this message is on, but acceleration and speed may be reduced. Anytime this message stays on, the vehicle should be taken to your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. SERVICE ABS (Antilock Brake System) If this message displays when you are driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the message stays on, or comes back on again while you are driving, your vehicle is in need of service. See your dealer/retailer. If the SERVICE ABS message is being displayed, the Traction Control System (TCS) and StabiliTrak® System will also be disabled. The Driver Information Center will scroll three messages: SERVICE ABS, SERVICE TRACTION SYS, and SERVICE STABILITRAK, and the antilock brake system and traction control warning lights on the instrument panel cluster will be illuminated. See Antilock Brake System Warning Light on page 3-51 and Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 3-52. The driver can acknowledge these messages by pressing the RESET button three times. When the service message is displayed, the computer controlled systems will not assist the driver and you should have the system repaired by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly. RIGHT DOOR AJAR This message displays anytime the engine is running, the transmission is not in PARK (P), and the passenger door is open or ajar. A chime sounds if the vehicle's speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). SERVICE A/C This message displays when the electronic sensors that control the air conditioning and heating systems are no longer working. Have the climate control system serviced by your dealer/retailer if you notice a drop in heating and air conditioning efficiency. 3-70
