SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM
On some vehicles, if there is a problem with the battery
charging system, this message will appear on the
DIC. The battery will not be charging at an optimal rate
and the vehicle will lose the ability to enter the fuel
economy mode. The vehicle is safe to drive, however
you should have the electrical system checked by
your GM dealer. Pressing any of the four DIC buttons or
the trip odometer reset stem will clear the message
from the DIC display.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
If the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly, this
message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel cluster. SeeMalfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-37. Reinstall the fuel cap, making sure
to fully install the cap. SeeFilling Your Tank on page 5-7.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing
fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should
turn the light and message off.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on
page 4-9for more information.
TRANS HOT IDLE ENGINE
If the transmission uid gets hot, this message will
appear on the DIC along with a continuous chime.
Driving with the transmission uid temperature high can
cause damage to the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and
let it idle to allow the transmission to cool. This message
will clear and the chime will stop when the uid
temperature reaches a safe level.
3-52

TRANSMISSION HOT
If the transmission uid temperature becomes high, this
message will appear on the DIC.
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 will turn off and the
transmission shifting patterns will return to normal.
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission uid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed 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 transmission
temperature warning is displayed.
The following situations can cause the transmission to
operate at higher temperatures:
Towing a trailer
Hot outside air temperatures
Hauling a large or heavy load
Low transmission uid level
High transmission uid level
Restricted air ow to the radiator and the auxiliary
transmission oil cooler (if equipped)
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 6-4for the proper transmission maintenance
intervals.
TURN SIGNAL ON
If a turn signal is left on for 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), this
message will appear on the display and you will hear a
chime. Move the turn signal/multifunction lever to the
off position. Pressing any of the four DIC buttons or the
trip odometer reset stem will clear the message from
the DIC display.
3-53

Elevated Idle
The elevated idle feature is available on diesel engine
vehicles only. Press the personalization button until
ELEVATED IDLE appears in the display. To select your
personalization for elevated idle, press the select
button while ELEVATED IDLE is displayed on the DIC.
Pressing the select button will scroll through the
following choices:
ELEVATED IDLE: OFF (default):The elevated
idle/exhaust restrictor feature is turned off. See
“Elevated Idle/Exhaust Restrictor” under Starting and
Operating Your Vehicle in your DURAMAX™ Diesel
supplement.
ELEVATED IDLE: ON:The elevated idle/exhaust
restrictor feature is turned on. See “Elevated
Idle/Exhaust Restrictor” under Starting and Operating
Your Vehicle in your DURAMAX™ Diesel supplement.
Choose one of the available options and press the
personalization button while your choice is displayed on
the DIC to select it and move on to the next feature.
Language
To select your personalization for display language,
press the select button while LANGUAGE is displayed
on the DIC. Pressing the select button will scroll through
the following languages:
ENGLISH
FRANCAIS (French)
ESPANOL (Spanish)
Choose one of the available options and press the
personalization button while it is displayed on the DIC to
select it.
If you accidentally choose a language that you do not
want or understand, press and hold the personalization
button and the trip information button at the same
time. The DIC will begin scrolling through the languages
in their particular language. English will be in English,
Francais will be in French and Espanol will be in
Spanish. When you see the language that you would
like, release both buttons. The DIC will then display the
information in the language you chose.
You can also scroll through the different languages
by pressing and holding the trip reset stem for
four seconds, as long as you are in the odometer mode.
3-59

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired).
See your dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted
the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM
original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to
have the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for your vehicle.{CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you lose control. You could have
a collision in which you or others could be
injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.
Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause problems
with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 5-70for
more information.
