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
