Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either
miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
There is only one scale for mph and km/h. Use the Driver
Information Center (DIC) controls to switch between mph
and km/h. SeeDIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61
for more information. The cluster will calculate the proper
speed and move the needle to the correct position. Either
the MPH or the km/h telltale will illuminate, depending on
which measurement you choose.
The odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Controls and Displays on
page 3-61for more information.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Controls and Displays on
page 3-61for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at about 6700 rpm.
If you continue to drive your vehicle at the fuel shut off
rpm, you could damage your engine. Be sure to
operate your vehicle below the fuel shut off rpm or
reduce your rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition is turned on, a chime will be provided
for several seconds to remind people to buckle their
safety belts. The driver safety belt light will also be
provided and stay on for several seconds, then it will ash
for several more. You should buckle your seat belt.
This chime and light will be
repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and the
vehicle is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the
light will be provided.

You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to
display more detailed fuel information. While scrolling
through the DIC, you will also nd:
AVERAGE XX.X MPG (Average Miles Per Gallon):
The fuel economy calculated for the last 20 gallons
(76 L) of fuel used, or since you last reset the display.
INST XX.X MPG (Instantaneous Miles Per Gallon):
The fuel economy calculated for your current driving
conditions.
RANGE XXX MI:The approximate distance you can
drive before refueling.
SeeDIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61for more
information.
You should reset the fuel information display every time
you refuel. To reset AVERAGE, use the information up or
down button to scroll to AVE FUEL ECON and hold the
reset button. RANGE will automatically reset.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
This display gives you the status of many of your
vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display driver
personalization features and warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display, located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster.

rst sold in Canada, the trip odometer will return to zero
after 1,242 miles (1 999 km).
TRIP B:This feature allows you to record the distance
traveled during a second trip and functions the same
as TRIP A.RANGE xxx MI:This feature shows about how many
miles you can drive without relling your fuel tank. Once
the range drops below 40 miles (64 km) remaining,
the display will show LOW.

to display AVERAGE xx.x MPG then press and hold the
RESET button until AVERAGE 00.0 MPG is displayed.
INST xx.x MPG (Instantaneous Miles Per
Gallon):This feature shows the instantaneous fuel
economy which varies with your driving conditions, such
as acceleration, braking and the grade of the road
being traveled. The RESET button does not function

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 clearance to the
body and chassis.
