Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual: Engine Power Messages, Fuel System Messages, Key and Lock Messages

Engine Power Messages

ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED

This message displays when the vehicle's engine power is reduced.

Reduced engine power can affect the vehicle's ability to accelerate.

If this message is on, but there is no reduction in performance, proceed to your destination. The performance may be reduced the next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may be driven at a reduced speed while this message is on, but maximum acceleration and speed may be reduced. Anytime this message stays on, the vehicle should be taken to your dealer for service as soon as possible.

Fuel System Messages

FUEL LEVEL LOW

This message displays when the vehicle is low on fuel. Refill the fuel tank as soon as possible. See Fuel Gauge on page 5-10 and Filling the Tank on page 9-38 for more information.

TIGHTEN GAS CAP

This message may display along with the malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster if the vehicle's fuel cap is not tightened properly. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp on page 5-14. Reinstall the fuel cap fully. See Filling the Tank on page 9-38. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn this light and message off.

Key and Lock Messages

REPLACE REMOTE KEY FOB BATTERY

This message displays if a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter battery is low. The battery needs to be replaced in the transmitter. See "Battery Replacement" under Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2-2.
