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

DIC Warnings and Messages

These messages will appear if there is a problem
sensed in one of your vehicle's systems. You must then
press 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 RESET button will only make the
message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in English,
French, German, Italian and Spanish.
ABS ACTIVE: When your anti-lock system is adjusting
brake pressure to help avoid a braking skid, the ABS
ACTIVE message will be displayed.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message is
displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
message may stay on for a few seconds after the
system stops adjusting brake pressure.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE: 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.
3-64
CHANGE OIL NOW: This means that the life of the
engine oil has expired. See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 7-4. After an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator
must be reset. See Oil Life Indicator on page 3-77 and
Engine Oil Life System on page 6-16.
CHARGE SYSTEM FAULT: This message will display
when a problem with the charging system has been
detected. Have your vehicle serviced by your GM dealer.
CHECK GAS CAP: This message will appear if the
gas cap has not been fully tightened. You should
recheck your gas cap to ensure that it is on properly.
CLEAN RADAR CRUISE: This message indicates the
ACC system is disabled because the radar is blocked and
cannot detect vehicles in your path. It may also activate
during heavy rain or due to road spray. To clean the
system, see "Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)" under Turn
Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-7.
CLOSE CARGO DIVIDER: This message indicates that
the cargo divider is not in place. Open the trunk and
make sure the cargo divider is secure and no objects are
on the divider. See Rear Storage Area on page 2-44
for more information.
