A quick DIC message query
Hi, I was driving my C5 yesterday (2002 Auto) and a message popped up on the DIC. Unfortunately it was only there briefly and I only saw it just as it was vanishing off screen and went back to showing the odometer. No audible chime, nothing shown in the HUD. It didn’t do it again (that I saw) for the rest of the journey and didn’t display anything else different when I switched it off. Pulled the codes and nothing new to report.
From the glance I managed, I’m pretty sure I saw a “ % remaining “ as part of the text. I know the car tracks and reports oil life as a % remaining, so I looked at that and it says 74% at the moment.
Does anyone know if there are any other systems with similar messages which the DIC might have felt the need to tell me about as I was driving along, please?!
Many thanks

I don't believe that anything else would show % other then oil live. The pcm determines this on how the car is driven and mileage, I would not be concerned about this message unless it starts randomly appearing.

Low oil temperature (it was a very very cold sub zero winter morning)
Active handling warming up (or something like that)
