Message Center; Driver Information Center (Dic) - Chevrolet 2005 Impala Getting To Know Manual

Message Center

Your Impala is equipped with a Message
Center in the instrument panel that
keeps you informed of key vehicle main-
tenance and safety information.
While your Owner Manual provides a
complete list of the possible warning
messages, below are examples of some
of the messages you may see.
HOT COOLANT TEMP: Appears when
the cooling system temperature
becomes abnormally hot. A chime will
sound continuously also.
DOOR AJAR: Appears if any of the
vehicle's doors are not completely
closed and the ignition is on.
HIGHBEAM OUT: Appears if a problem
with the headlamps occurs. The mes-
sage will remain on for approximately
60 seconds. When the ignition is turned
off, the message will stay on for three
seconds to remind you of the problem.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
