Message Center
Your Monte Carlo is equipped with a
Message Center in the instrument panel
that keeps you informed of key vehicle
maintenance and safety information as
they arise.
While your Owner Manual provides a
complete list of the possible warning
messages, below are examples of some
of the messages you may see. (Note:
Canada uses corresponding symbols in
place of text.)
HOT COOLANT TEMP: Appears when
the cooling system temperature gets
abnormally hot. A chime will sound
continuously also.
DOOR AJAR: Appears if any of the
vehicle’s doors are not completely
closed and the ignition is ON.
HIGHBEAM OUT: Appears if you have
a problem with the headlamps. The
message will remain on for approximately 60 seconds. When the ignition is
turned off, the message will stay on for
three seconds to remind you of the
problem.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
If equipped, the DIC provides valuable
information about your vehicle and the
surroundings. It is located in the headliner between the sun visors.
