Dic Warnings And Messages - Cadillac ESCALADE ESV 2005 Owner's Manual

DIC Warnings and Messages

Warning messages are displayed on the Driver
Information Center (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.
If there is more than one message that needs to be
displayed they will appear one after another. Some
messages may not require immediate action, but you
should press any of the four DIC buttons on the steering
wheel, if equipped, to acknowledge that you received the
messages and clear them from the display. If your vehicle
is not equipped with DIC buttons on the steering wheel,
press the trip odometer reset stem located on the
instrument panel cluster to acknowledge messages and
clear them from the display. Some messages cannot be
cleared from the display because they are more urgent.
These messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. 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.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
On some vehicles, if the battery is not charging during
operation, this message will appear on the DIC.
Driving with this problem could drain your battery. Have
the electrical system checked by your GM dealer as
soon as possible. Pressing any of the four DIC buttons,
if equipped, will clear the message from the DIC
display. If your vehicle is not equipped with the four DIC
buttons, pressing the trip odometer reset stem will
clear the message from the DIC display. See Charging
System Light on page 3-36 and Voltmeter Gage on
page 3-37.
BUCKLE PASSENGER
If your vehicle is equipped with the passenger sensing
system, this message reminds you to buckle the
passenger's seat belt. See Passenger Sensing System
on page 1-80.
This message will display and a chime will sound when
the ignition is on, the driver's seat belt is buckled, the
passenger's seat belt is unbuckled with the passenger
airbag enabled and the vehicle is in motion. You should
have the passenger buckle their seat belt.
