If the transmission fluid temperature rises above 263 O F
(1 28
O
C) or rises rapidly, this message is displayed.
The transmission may shift gears or apply the torque
converter clutch to reduce the fluid temperature.
Driving aggressively or driving on long hills can cause
the transmission fluid temperature to be higher than
normal. If this message appears, you may continue to
drive at a slower speed. You should also monitor the
transmission fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at
least 230°F (1 10OC). The transmission fluid temperature
can be monitored with the GAGES button on the DIC.
See "Automatic Transmission Fluid" in the Index. You
should also check the engine coolant temperature. If it is
also hot, see "Engine Overheating" in the Index.
If the HIGH TRANS TEMP message is displayed
during normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your
vehicle may need service. See your Chevrolet dealer
for an inspection.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE
-
(LF, LR, RF, RR): YOU
will hear two chimes when this message is displayed.
To acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you
press RESET, a message will reappear and you will hear
a chime every 10 minutes until this condition changes.
This message indicates that the pressure in one of your
tires is less than 25 psi (172 kPa). Next to the LOW
TIRE PRESSURE message, you can see either LF (left
front), LR (left rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear)
to indicate to you which tire is low on pressure. You can
receive more than one tire pressure message at a time.
To read other messages that may have been sent at the
same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure message
appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See "Extended
Mobility Tires" in the Index.
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle's handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90
km/h)
when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.
