Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in either
miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have
a new odometer installed. The new one may read
the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s
computer has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometers
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). To access the trip odometer, use one
of the following procedures:
Using the Base audio system, do the following:
1. Press the INFO (Information) button located to the
right of the screen to access the DIC menu.
2. Scroll through the menu using the up or down
arrows on the INFO button until you reach
Trip Odometer A or Trip Odometer B.
The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be
displayed at the top of the screen with the
accumulated mileage.
3. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer.You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing
CLR (Clear) button located in the center of the
INFO button to the right of the screen. The mileage
for that trip odometer will return to zero. Each trip
odometer must be reset individually.
Using the Navigation audio system, do the following:
1. Press the INFO button located on the left side of the
screen to access the Vehicle Information menu.
2. Scroll through the menu using the TUNE/SEL knob
located to the lower right of the screen until you
reach Trip Odometer A or Trip Odometer B.
3. Select the menu item by pressing the TUNE/SEL
knob once.
The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be
displayed at the top of the screen with the
accumulated mileage.
4. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer.
You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing
multifunction button next to Reset in the upper right
corner of the screen. The mileage for that trip odometer
will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset
individually.

Here are a few concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and
do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly
or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank than
the gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated that the tank was half full, but
it actually took a little more or less than half the
tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Message Center
Message Center (CTS-V)
The message center can display information relating to
powertrain uids, tire pressures, vehicle dynamics,
speedometer and odometer information, and
transmission status. It also displays warning messages.
There are two different areas where message center
information will be displayed. One display is inside of the
tachometer and the other is inside of the speedometer.These are the controls for
the message center.
They are located on
the left spoke of the
steering wheel.
The outboard switch controls the display of information
inside of the tachometer. The upper button on the
inboard switch controls the display of information inside
of the speedometer. The lower button on the inboard
switch turns the traction control on or off. SeeDriving at
Night on page 4-18for more information.
3-53

Speedometer Display
This display will show information relating to vehicle
speed, odometer, and transmission status. The
information displayed can be changed by pressing the
upper button on the inboard switch on the left spoke
of the steering wheel. Pressing this button cycles
the displayed information as follows: digital speedometer
only, odometer only, speedometer and odometer, or
blank display.
When the transmission is shifted into REVERSE (R),
an R will appear in the upper right corner.
During slow speed maneuvers, the engine’s computer
may command the transmission to engage the Skip Shift
feature. For more information seeManual Transmission
Operation on page 2-33.
Tachometer Display
Press the lower button on the outboard switch to cycle
through the following displays: coolant temperature,
oil pressure, oil temperature, transmission temperature,
tire pressure, and lateral acceleration. Press the
upper button on the outboard switch to cycle through
the displays in reverse order. If you press and hold the
upper button for about one second the display will
become blank.
Coolant Temperature
When the coolant
temperature is displayed
you will see the coolant
temperature symbol.
The temperature will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit
or Celsius and there will be a graph at the bottom of
the display. If the graph shows the temperature in
the shaded area all the way on the right, then the
coolant temperature is hot. SeeEngine Overheating on
page 5-31for more information.

Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced
carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
If you notice unusual tire wear or your vehicle pulling
one way or the other, the alignment may need to
be reset. If you notice your vehicle vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, your wheels may need to
be rebalanced.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired).
See your dealer if any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted
the same way as the one it replaces.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 5-81for
more information.
