Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual: Vehicle Messages

Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual / Instruments and Controls / Vehicle 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, but you can press any of the DIC buttons, or the trip odometer reset stem on the instrument cluster, to acknowledge that you received the messages and to clear them from the display.

Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC display because they are more urgent. These messages require action before they can be cleared. 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.

You will find the possible messages that can be displayed and some information about them grouped by subject in the following information.

The "Vehicle Messages" section in the Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual explains that messages are displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) to notify the driver about the vehicle's status and necessary actions. Some messages can be cleared by pressing any DIC button or the trip odometer reset stem, while others require immediate attention and cannot be dismissed until the issue is resolved. These messages cover various systems such as brakes, engine cooling, oil, fuel, keys, lamps, ride control, airbags, and more. For detailed information on each type of message, refer to the specific sections provided in the manual.

Addressing these messages promptly helps ensure that minor issues do not develop into more significant problems, maintaining the vehicle's reliability and efficiency. Regularly checking and understanding the DIC messages can lead to a more proactive approach to vehicle maintenance and safety.
