Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that
are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed
in English.
A/C OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION - 16: This
message displays when the engine coolant becomes
hotter than the normal operating temperature.
To avoid
added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned off
so that air
conditioned
air is not delivered. If the coolant
temperature returns to normal, you must select AC to
return to a normal A/C compressor operation.
If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46: This message will
appear if your vehicle is in PARK
(P) for about 15
seconds and the brake
is not pressed in. To remove this
message from the DIC display, hold the
OFF and the
blue (cooler) buttons on the digital cluster climate
control panel for about five seconds. On the analog
cluster climate control panel, press the
OFF button (next
to the
MODE button) and the down arrow on the PASS
TEMP button for about five seconds. Hold the same two
buttons to display the message again.
BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07: This message will
appear if the battery
is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at
your earliest convenience.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH - 08: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than
16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership.
You can reduce the charging overload by using the
accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate
control on
AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the
rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION
(INFO) button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained.
If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge after driving a few miles and the
message should
go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to determine the cause
of this
problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery
quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical system
by turning
off the accessories. You can monitor battery
