When you reset the Change Trans Fluid message

the brake system serviced by your GM dealer as
soon as possible. See

This message will appear when there is a low level of
engine coolant. Have the cooling system serviced
by your GM dealer as soon as possible. See

Engine

Coolant on page 5-26 for more information.

Check Washer Fluid

When this message appears on the display, it means
that your vehicle is low on windshield washer fluid.
You should refill the tank as soon as possible.
