This means the electronic limited slip differential (ELSD) controls are off. You must have a Z51 and not a base model.
FROM THE 2014 OWNER'S MANUAL
Limited-Slip Differential (Z51 Only) If equipped, the Electronic LimitedSlip Differential (ELSD) is automatically activated. ELSD actively monitors vehicle sensors and driver inputs to determine the amount of change for the conditions. With ELSD, the vehicle has:. Enhanced high-speed control..Improved traction through corners, allowing more acceleration..More precise steering..Increased vehicle agility..Integration with StabiliTrak.
REAR AXLE OFF
If this message is displayed, the Electronic Limited-Slip Rear (if equipped) is not operational. Drive with caution. Avoid high speeds,aggressive driving, and sharp cornering. The system could be over heated. Allow the system to cool. If this message remains on,see your dealer for service. The vehicle is safe to drive, however,continue to drive with caution.When this message is displayed,the vehicle’s handling capabilities will be reduced during severe maneuvers. StabiliTrak will be affected. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control on page 9-36.
Here's a link to the 2014 manual. Look at differential and DIC messages:
