Tighten Fuel Cap; Traction Active - Chevrolet 2006 Avalanche Owner's Manual

TIGHTEN FUEL CAP

If the vehicle's fuel cap is not tightened properly this
message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-40. Reinstall the fuel cap, making sure
to fully install the cap. See Filling the Tank on
page 5-9. The diagnostic system can determine if the
fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose
or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light and message off.

TRACTION ACTIVE

When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle's wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. See StabiliTrak
more information.
TRACTION SYS (System) LIMITED
If the brake traction control system activates constantly
or if the brakes have heated up due to high-speed
braking, brake traction control will be disabled and the
TRACTION SYS LIMITED message will be displayed.
The system will return to normal operation after the
brakes have cooled. See StabiliTrak
page 4-9 for more information.

TRANS (Transmission) HOT IDLE
ENGINE
Notice: If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission fluid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed on
the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC, you
can damage the transmission. This could lead to
costly repairs that would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not drive your vehicle with
overheated transmission fluid or while the
transmission temperature warning is displayed.
If the transmission fluid gets hot, this message
will appear on the DIC along with a continuous chime.
Driving with the transmission fluid temperature high
can cause damage to the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and
let it idle to allow the transmission to cool. This
message will clear and the chime will stop when the
fluid temperature reaches a safe level. See
Transmission Temperature Gage on page 3-38.
