DIC Warnings and Messages
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. Multiple messages may
appear one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate
action. Press any of the DIC buttons on the
steering wheel or the trip odometer reset stem
located on the instrument panel cluster to
acknowledge that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. Take any messages
that appear on the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.

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 uid
or while the transmission temperature warning
is displayed.
This message displays if the transmission uid
temperature becomes high.
When the transmission enters the protection
mode, you may notice a change in the
transmission shifting patterns. When the
transmission uid temperature returns to normal,
the display turns off and the transmission
shifting patterns return to normal.If the vehicle has the Tow/Haul mode, use this
feature if the transmission is operating at higher
temperatures and/or the following situations
exist, which can cause the transmission to operate
at higher temperatures:
Towing a trailer
Hot outside air temperatures
Hauling a large or heavy load
Over-loading
Low transmission uid level
High transmission uid level
Restricted air ow to the radiator and the
auxiliary transmission oil cooler, if your vehicle
has this feature
A temporary solution to hotter transmission
operating temperatures may be to let the
transmission cool down. If the transmission is
operated at higher temperatures on a frequent
basis, seeScheduled Maintenance on page 517
for the proper transmission maintenance intervals
for the transmission on your vehicle. Also see
Transmission Temperature Gage on page 213for

their original cases or other protective cases and
away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD
and DVD player scans the bottom surface of the
disc. If the surface of a CD or DVD is damaged,
such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD or

surface of a CD or DVD is soiled, take a soft, lint
free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a
mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge. If a dampened
cloth was used to clean the disc, dry it with a
dry cotton cloth.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD or DVD
while handling it; this could damage the surface.
Pick up CDs or DVDs by grasping the outer edges
or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
