GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

The message center is located in the instrument panel cluster. It gives you important safety and maintenance facts.

If there are several messages, each message will be shown for a few seconds and will continue to repeat until cleared. To clear a message, press the trip/reset button while the message you want to clear is being displayed.

Many messages will also cause a chime to sound, to alert you to the message.

Vehicles first sold in Canada have instrument panel clusters that show messages in either English or French. To change the language, do the following:

  1. Turn the ignition on.
  2. Press the trip/reset button until the current language of ENGLISH or FRENCH is displayed.
  3. Press and hold the trip/reset button for several seconds until the language is changed.
  4. Press the trip/reset button to return to the odometer display.
