Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the
interior lamps on. If you leave any interior lamps on
while the ignition is in lock or off, they will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes. The lamps will not come
back on again until you do one of the following:
Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY
Open a closed door, or close and reopen a door.
Turn the interior lamps on if they are in the door or
override position.
Turn the interior lamps to the door or override
position and then to on again if the interior
lamp control is in the on position.
If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.
Overhead Console Switchbank
The overhead console switchbank is located in the
overhead console. This switchbank may include
the following:
Power Sliding Door(s)/Override Switch(es). See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-17.
Power Rear Quarter Windows. SeePower Rear
Quarter Windows on page 2-27.
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) Disable
Switch. SeeUltrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) on page 3-22.
If your vehicle does not have some of these options,
there will be a blank.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. The new one can be set to
the mileage total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can display how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
For more information seeDIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-50.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays
the engine speed in
revolutions per
minute (rpm).
3-36

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display located in
the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer. The
DIC buttons are located on the center of the instrument
panel, below the center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2)
if a personalized key 1 or 2 is used, and then the
information that was last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, fuel
economy, trip computer, vehicle system information, and
compass display, if equipped. It also displays warning
messages if a system problem is detected. In addition,
the DIC displays phone numbers that are called
using the OnStar
®system, if equipped. SeeOnStar®
System on page 2-45.If equipped, the outside air temperature automatically
appears in the bottom right corner of the DIC display
when viewing all of the information screens, except for
the oil life screens. If the outside air temperature is
at or below 37°F (3°C), the temperature reading
will toggle between displaying the outside temperature
and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is a problem
with the system that controls the temperature display,
the letters OC (open circuit) or SC (short circuit)
will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the
vehicle serviced by your GM dealer.
The DIC also allows some features to be customized or
personalized, if equipped. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-72for more
information.

DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by
pressing the DIC buttons located on the center of the
instrument panel. The buttons are the information,
set/reset, and menu buttons.
The button functions are detailed in the following pages.
DIC Buttons
Q4R(Information):Press this button to display the
odometer, trip distance, time elapsed, average speed,
fuel economy, battery voltage, oil life, and to turn off
the DIC.
r(Set/Reset):Press this button to set or reset
certain functions and to turn off or acknowledge
messages on the DIC.
q(Menu):Press this button to display the units,
language, personalization, if equipped, compass zone
and compass calibration, if equipped. SeeDIC
Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-72for
more information.
Information Button Items
Q4R
(Information):Press this button to scroll
through the following items:
Odometer
Press the information button until the odometer displays.
This mode shows the distance the vehicle has been
driven in either miles or kilometers.
3-50

Trip A and Trip B
Press the information button until A or B displays. This
mode shows the current distance traveled in either
miles or kilometers since the last reset for each
trip odometer. Both trip odometers can be used at the
same time.
The display will show the odometer on the top line and
the trip odometer information, either A or B, on the
bottom line.
Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by
pressing the set/reset button while the desired trip
odometer is displayed.
There is also a retroactive trip odometer function that
performs the following for each trip odometer:
If the vehicle’s speed has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h)
during the current ignition cycle, this function will
set the trip odometer to the distance driven
during the current ignition cycle.
If the vehicle’s speed has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h), this function will set the trip odometer
to the distance driven during the previous ignition
cycle plus the distance driven during the current
ignition cycle.Press and hold the set/reset button for three seconds,
then release the button. The retroactive trip odometer
value will be set into the currently displayed trip
odometer.
Time Elapsed
Press the information button until TIME ELAPSED :00
displays. This mode is like a stopwatch, in that you can
clock the time it takes to get from one point to another.
Each of the elds for the hours, minutes, and seconds
are two numeric digits.
Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the
set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the
set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting
and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the
TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing
where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press
and hold the set/reset button for approximately
1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero.

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM
original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to
have the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for your vehicle.
{CAUTION:
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose
air and make you lose control. You could have
a collision in which you or others could be
injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.
Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause problems
with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 5-70for more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has been
used or how far it has been driven. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash. If you have to
replace a wheel, use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
