GMC Terrain: Vehicle Messages / Vehicle Messages

Messages displayed on the DIC indicate the status of the vehicle or some action that may be needed to correct a condition. Multiple messages may appear one after another.

All messages should be taken seriously; clearing the message does not correct the problem.

  • Service Messages
