Chevrolet Silverado: Vehicle Messages / Vehicle Messages
Messages displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) indicate the status
of the vehicle or some action that may be needed to correct a condition. Multiple
messages may appear one after another.
The messages that do not require immediate action can be acknowledged and cleared
by pressing the thumbwheel. The messages that require immediate action cannot be
cleared until that action is performed.
All messages should be taken seriously; clearing the message does not correct
the problem.
If a SERVICE message appears, see your dealer.
Follow the instructions given in the messages. The system displays messages regarding
the following topics:
- Service Messages
- Fluid Levels
- Vehicle Security
- Brakes
- Steering
- Ride Control Systems
- Driver Assistance Systems
- Cruise Control
- Lighting and Bulb Replacement
- Wiper/Washer Systems
- Doors and Windows
- Seat Belts
- Airbag Systems
- Engine and Transmission
- Tire Pressure
- Battery
ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the vehicle's propulsion power is reduced. A reduction
in propulsion power can affect the vehicle's ability to accelerate...
Other information:
There is a driver seat belt reminder light on the instrument cluster.
When the vehicle is started, this light flashes and a chime may come on to remind
the driver to fasten their seat belt. Then the light stays on solid until the belt
is buckled...
If the vehicle has the Duramax diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement.
Caution
Do not run the engine if there is a leak in the engine cooling system.
This can cause a loss of all coolant and can damage the system and vehicle. Have
any leaks fixed right away...
