Dic Warnings And Messages - Cadillac CTS 2008 Owner's Manual

DIC Warnings and Messages

Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the driver
that the status of the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by the driver to correct the
condition. Multiple messages may appear one after
another.
Some messages may not require immediate action, but
you can press any of the DIC buttons on the instrument
panel to acknowledge that you received the messages
and to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be cleared. You should
take any messages that appear on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the messages will only
make the messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can be
displayed and some information about them.
Accessory Mode Active
If your vehicle has the keyless access system, this
message displays when the accessory mode is active.
See Ignition Positions (Key Access) on page 2-32
or Ignition Positions (Keyless Access) on page 2-34
for more information.
3-56
AFL (Adaptive Forward Lighting)
Lamps Need Service
This message displays when the Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL) system is disabled and needs service.
See your dealer/retailer. See Adaptive Forward Lighting
System on page 3-19 for more information.
All Wheel Drive Off
If your vehicle has the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system,
this message displays when there is a temporary
condition making the AWD system unavailable.
Your vehicle will run in 2WD. This could be caused by:
•
Loss of wheel or vehicle speed
•
AWD system overheat
•
Certain vehicle electrical conditions
This message turns off when the above conditions are no
longer present and by resetting the warning message.
To reset the warning message, turn the ignition off and
then back on again after 30 seconds. If the message
stays on, see your dealer/retailer right away. See
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System on page 4-9 for more
information.
