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.

the following topics:
