Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.Warning lights come on when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Some warning lights come
on briefly when the engine is started
to indicate they are working.
Gauges can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gauges and warning
lights work together to indicate a
problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.

as a system check. Then, after
several seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF,
or either the on or off symbol, to let
you know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag is
allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service.{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light on page 5-15 for more
information, including important
safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system light comes on
briefly when the ignition is turned
on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show the light is working.
It should go out when the engine is
started.
If the light stays on or comes on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the electrical charging
system. Have it checked by your
dealer. Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) also
displays a message.
See
Battery Voltage and Charging
Messages on page 5-33.
If a short distance must be driven
with the light on, be sure to turn off
all accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.

Traction Control System
(TCS)/StabiliTrak®Light
This light comes on briefly when the
engine is started.
If the light does not come on, have
the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the system is working normally,
the indicator light turns off.
If the light is on and not flashing, the
TCS and potentially the StabiliTrak
system have been disabled. A DIC
message may display. Check the
DIC messages to determine which feature(s) is no longer functioning
and whether the vehicle requires
service.
If the indicator/warning light is on
and flashing, the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak system is actively
working.
See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control on page 9-38.

OFF Light
This light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer. This light comes on when the
StabiliTrak system is turned off.
If the TCS is off, wheel spin is not
limited. If the StabiliTrak system is
off, the system does not assist in
controlling the vehicle. Turn on the
TCS and the StabiliTrak system and
the warning light turns off.
For SS models, when both TCS and
StabiliTrak lights are on, the vehicle
is in Competitive Mode. A warning
also appears on the DIC for
StabiliTrak Competitive Mode. See
Ride Control System Messages on
page 5-38.
For ZL1, when both TCS and
StabiliTrak lights are on, the vehicle
is in Performance Traction
Management or both TCS and
StabiliTrak systems are disabled.

Head-Up Display (HUD)
{Warning
If the HUD image is too bright or
too high in your field of view, it
may take you more time to see
things you need to see when it is
dark outside. Be sure to keep the
HUD image dim and placed low in
your field of view.
If equipped with HUD, some
information concerning the
operation of the vehicle is projected
onto the windshield. This includes
but is not limited to the speedometer
reading, rpm reading, transmission
position, outside air temperature,
compass heading, and a brief
display of the current radio station,
including SiriusXM information or
CD track. It will also display
Turn-by-Turn Navigation information
if the vehicle has OnStar
®. The images are projected through the
HUD lens on the driver side of the
instrument panel.
{Caution
If you try to use the HUD image
as a parking aid, you may
misjudge the distance and
damage your vehicle. Do not use
the HUD image as a parking aid.
The tap shift gear will appear on the
HUD if the vehicle has tap shift and
it is active. The shift timing lights
and a lateral acceleration (G-Force)
indicator may also appear.
The language of the HUD
information displayed can be
changed. The speedometer reading
and other numerical values can be
displayed in either English or metric
units.
The language selection is changed
through the radio and the units of
measurement selection is changed
through the trip computer in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See the Infotainment Manual and
Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 5-24.
HUD Display on the Vehicle

When the HUD is on, the
speedometer reading is continually
displayed. The current radio station
or CD track number may display for
a short period of time after the radio or CD track status changes. This
may happen whenever radio
information is changed. The
speedometer size is reduced when
radio, CD information, or warnings
are displayed on the HUD.
When the phone feature is
activated, the HUD will briefly
display phone information,
if available.
The HUD control is to the right of
the steering wheel.
To adjust the HUD image so that
items are properly displayed:
1. Adjust the driver seat to a
comfortable position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Adjust the HUD controls.
Use the following settings to adjust
the HUD.
OFF: Turn the HUD dimming knob
fully counterclockwise until the HUD
display turns off.
Brightness: Turn the dimming knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the display. The
HUD image will automatically dim
and brighten to compensate for
outside lighting. The HUD
brightness control can also be
adjusted as needed. The HUD
image can temporarily light up
depending on the angle and position
of the sunlight on the HUD display.
This is normal. Polarized
sunglasses could make the HUD
image harder to see.

SERVICE STABILITRAK
This message displays if there is a
problem with the StabiliTrak®
system. If this message appears, try
to reset the system. Stop; turn off
the engine and remove the key from
the ignition; open and close the
driver door and wait for at least
one minute. During this time you
should notice the lights on the
cluster turn off. After a minute has
passed, start the engine again.
If this message still comes on, it
means there is a problem. See your
dealer for service. The vehicle is
safe to drive; however, you do not
have the benefit of StabiliTrak, so
reduce your speed and drive
accordingly.
