DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the DIC to notify
the driver that the status of the vehicle has changed and
that some action may be needed by the driver to
correct the condition. If there is more than one message
that needs to be displayed they will appear one after
another. Some messages may not require immediate
action but you should press the select button to
acknowledge that you received the message and clear it
from the display. Some messages cannot be cleared
from the display because they are more urgent;
these messages require action before they can beremoved from the DIC display. The following are the
possible messages that can be displayed and some
information about them.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
If the battery is not charging during operation, this
message will appear on the DIC. Driving with this
problem could drain your battery. Have the electrical
system checked as soon as possible. Pressing the
select button will acknowledge this message and clear it
from the DIC display.
BUCKLE SEATBELT
If your vehicle is equipped with the passenger sensing
system, this message reminds you to buckle the
driver's and/or passenger's seatbelt. See
Passenger
Sensing System on page 1-81. The message will come
on and a chime will sound when the ignition is in
RUN and the following conditions occur:
·The driver's seatbelt is unbuckled.
·The driver's seatbelt is unbuckled and the
passenger's seatbelt is unbuckled with the
passenger airbag enabled.
Press the select button to acknowledge the message
and clear it from the DIC display.

driver's seatbelt is buckled and the passenger's seatbelt
is unbuckled with the passenger airbag enabled.
Press the select button to acknowledge this message
and clear it from the DIC display.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
This message is displayed when the engine oil needs to
be changed. SeeGM Oil Life Systempreviously in
this section for information on how to reset the message.
This message will clear itself after 10 seconds until
the next ignition cycle.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitor
system, and a low tire pressure is detected in any of
the vehicle's tires, this message will appear on the DIC.
Press the select button, or reset stem, to acknowledge
the message and clear it from the DIC display. It
will appear at each ignition cycle until the tires are
in¯ated to the correct in¯ation pressure.
CHECK WASHER FLUID

Vehicle Data Collection and Event
Data Records
Your vehicle, like other modern motor vehicles, has a
number of sophisticated computer systems that monitor
and control several aspects of the vehicle's performance.
Your vehicle uses on-board vehicle computers to monitor
emission control components to optimize fuel economy,
to monitor conditions for airbag deployment and, if so
equipped, to provide anti-lock braking and to help the
driver control the vehicle in difficult driving situations.
Some information may be stored during regular
operations to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions;
other information is stored only in a crash or near crash
event by computer systems commonly called event data
recorders (EDR).
In a crash or near crash event, computer systems, such
as the Airbag Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
in your vehicle may record information about the
condition of the vehicle and how it was operated, such
as engine speed, brake applications, throttle position,
vehicle speed, seat belt usage, airbag readiness, airbag
performance data, and the severity of a collision. This
information has been used to improve vehicle crash
performance and may be used to improve crash
performance of future vehicles and driving safety. Unlike
the data recorders on many airplanes, these on-board
systems do not record sounds, such as conversation of
vehicle occupants.To read this information, special equipment is needed
and access to the vehicle or the SDM is required.
GM will not access information about a crash event or
share it with others other than·with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the
vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee,
·in response to an official request of police or similar
government office,
·as part of GM's defense of litigation through the
discovery process, or
·as required by law.
In addition, once GM collects or receives data, GM may
·use the data for GM research needs,
·make it available for research where appropriate
con®dentiality is to be maintained and need is
shown, or
·share summary data which is not tied to a speci®c
vehicle with non-GM organizations for research
purposes.
Others, such as law enforcement, may have access to
the special equipment that can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or SDM.
If your vehicle is equipped with OnStar, please check
the OnStar subscription service agreement or manual for
information on its operations and data collection.
