Warnings and Messages
The DIC provides a variety of vehicle

optional equipment) if a problem is
sensed in a vehicle system.
• To acknowledge a message and
clear it from the display, press the
button on the steering wheel.
Some urgent messages cannot be
cleared from the DIC display.
If you have a current OnStar subscrip-
tion, and a warning message appears,
you can press the OnStar button and
speak to an OnStar Advisor. In many
vehicles, OnStar Advisors can access
certain diagnostic information and can
tell you how serious the problem is and
what you should do about it.
Note: Your vehicle's warnings and mes-
sages provide critical information that
can prevent damage to your vehicle.
Review your Owner Manual to become
familiar with the information displayed
and the action required.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
