Dic Warnings And Messages - Cadillac 2005 DeVille Owner's Manual

DIC Warnings and Messages

These messages will appear if there is a problem
sensed in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that
are first sold in Canada will have a number after
each message. This number helps to identify the
problem. You must then press INFO or INFO RESET to
clear the display screen for further use. However, be
sure to take any message that appears on the display
screen seriously and remember that pressing the
INFO or INFO RESET button will only make the
message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French,
German, Spanish and Japanese. Contact your
GM dealer to have the language display adjusted for
your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING – 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have
the electrical system checked by your GM dealer at your
earliest convenience.
3-60
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE – 27: This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At
the point that features are disabled, this message
is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save
the charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to recharge.
BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH – 8: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your GM dealer. You can
reduce the charging overload by using the accessories.
Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate control on
AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window
defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC
by pressing the INFO button. The normal range is
11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running.
