Information
Driving for Better
Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving
tips to get the best fuel
economy possible:
.Set the climate controls to
the desired temperature
after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not
required.
.Avoid fast starts and
accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for
long periods of time.
.When road and weather
conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly
when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
.Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires
with the same TPC Spec
number molded into the
tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended
scheduled maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities
divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted
laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar
with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving,
keep your eyes on the road,
keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or
other electronic devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle
potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such
as programming favorite
radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat
settings. Program all trip
information into any
navigation device prior to
driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is
parked to retrieve items that
have fallen to the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to
tend to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.

manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of
oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the
environment. If you change
your own oil, be sure to drain
all the oil from the filter before
disposal. Never dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash or
pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or
bodies of water. Recycle it by
taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
Engine Oil Life
System
When to Change
Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer
system that indicates when to
change the engine oil and
filter. This is based on a
combination of factors which
include engine revolutions,
engine temperature, and miles
driven. Based on driving
conditions, the mileage atwhich an oil change is
indicated can vary
considerably. For the oil life
system to work properly, the
system must be reset every
time the oil is changed.
When the system has
calculated that oil life has been
diminished, it indicates that an
oil change is necessary.
A CHANGE ENGINE OIL
SOON message comes on.
Change the oil as soon as
possible within the next
1 000 km (600 mi). It is
possible that, if driving under
the best conditions, the oil life
system might indicate that an
oil change is not necessary for
up to a year. The engine oil
and filter must be changed at
least once a year and at this
time the system must be
reset. Your dealer has trained
service people who will
perform this work and reset
the system. It is also important
to check the oil regularly over
the course of an oil drain
interval and keep it at the
proper level.
If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the oil must be
changed at 5 000 km
(3,000 mi) since the last oil
change. Remember to reset
the oil life system whenever
the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine
Oil Life System
Reset the system whenever
the engine oil is changed so
that the system can calculate
the next engine oil change. To
reset the system:
1. Using the DIC buttons, display REMAINING OIL
LIFE on the DIC. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
(Base Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132.
2. Press and hold the thumbwheel on the
steering wheel. When the

ordinances/laws regarding
motor vehicle operation.
Caution
The new vehicle break-in
period should be completed
before performing the brake
burnishing procedure or
damage may occur to the
powertrain/engine. See New
Vehicle Break-In0259.
Caution
Brake fade can occur during
this burnish procedure and
can cause brake pedal travel
and force to increase. This
could extend stopping
distance until the brakes are
fully burnished.
Completing the following
procedure as instructed will
not damage the brakes. The
brake pads may smoke and
produce an odor. The braking
force and pedal travel may increase. After the procedure,
the brake pads may appear
white at the rotor contact.
1. Using the G-Force Gauge in the HUD display, apply
the brakes 10 times
starting at 100 km/h
(60 mph) to 50 km/h
(30 mph) while
decelerating at 0.4g.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD)
0136. This is a medium
brake application. Drive for
at least 0.5 km (0.3 mi)
between applying the
brakes.
2. If further cleanup of the brake discs is needed,
repeat this procedure with
0.7g applications.
As with all high performance
brake systems, some amount
of brake squeal is normal.
Brake Pad Life
System (If Equipped)
When to Change
Brake Pads
If equipped, this system
estimates the remaining life of
the front and rear brake pads.
Brake Pad Life is displayed in
the Driver Information Center
(DIC), along with a percentage
for each axle. The system
must be reset every time the
brake pads are changed.
When the system has
determined that the brake
pads need to be replaced, a
message displays, which may
include mileage remaining.
Brake pads should always be
replaced as complete
axle sets.
How to Reset the Brake
Pad Life System
The system will automatically
detect when significantly worn
brake pads are replaced.

Motors and your dealer are

Courtesy Rental Vehicle
For an overnight warranty
repair, the dealer may provide
an available courtesy rental
vehicle or provide for
reimbursement of a rental
vehicle. Reimbursement is
limited and must be supported
by original receipts as well as
a signed and completed rental
agreement and meet state/
provincial, local, and rental
vehicle provider requirements.
Requirements vary and may
include minimum age
requirements, insurancecoverage, credit card, etc.
Additional fees such as fuel,
rental vehicle insurance, taxes,
levies, usage fees, excessive
mileage, or rental usage
beyond the completion of the
repair are also your
responsibility.
It may not be possible to
provide a like vehicle as a
courtesy rental.
Additional Program
Information
All program options, such as
shuttle service, may not be

conditions described herein at
its sole discretion.
Collision Damage
Repair
If the vehicle is involved in a
collision and it is damaged,
have the damage repaired by
a qualified technician using the
proper equipment and quality
replacement parts. Poorly
performed collision repairs
diminish the vehicle resale
value, and safety performance
can be compromised in
subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts
are new parts made with the
same materials and
construction methods as the
parts with which the vehicle
was originally built. Genuine
GM Collision parts are the
best choice to ensure that the
vehicle's designed
appearance, durability, and
safety are preserved. The use
of Genuine GM parts can help
maintain the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
