Headlamps Suggested; Hot Coolant - Pontiac 2006 Grand Prix Owner's Manual

HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED

This message comes on when the amount of available
light outside the vehicle is low and the exterior lamps
control has been turned off. This condition happens
when the headlamps are turned off at night or the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are turned off during the
day. This message informs the driver that it has
become dark enough outside to require the headlamps
to be turned on. When the headlamps are turned
on, this message will clear from the screen. See Exterior
Lamps on page 3-15 and Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 3-16 for more information.
This message will display while the ignition is in RUN. A
chime will sound for two seconds when this message
is displayed. Press the set/reset button to acknowledge
this warning message and to clear it from the screen.
This message will continue to display if it has not been
acknowledged when the engine is turned off. It will
also re-display for three seconds if the message has
been acknowledged, but the condition still exists
when the engine is turned off.
If the condition still exists, the message will re-appear
when the engine is turned on.

HOT COOLANT

Notice: If the HOT COOLANT warning message
appears on the DIC display, stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Do not increase the engine speed
above normal idling speed. Severe engine damage
can result from driving a vehicle with an overheated
engine. See Engine Overheating on page 5-28 for
more information.
This warning message will appear while the engine
coolant temperature is too hot. The hot coolant
temperature warning light will also appear on the
instrument panel cluster. Also, the engine coolant
temperature gage will read in the red or hot area. See
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light on
page 3-46 and Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on
page 3-46 for more information.
To avoid added strain, turn off the air conditioner if it is
on. When the coolant temperature returns to normal,
the air conditioner can be turned back on.
This symbol comes on with
the HOT COOLANT
warning message.
