change time CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2007 2.G User Guide

For example, if the vehicle was driven 5 miles
(8 km) before it is started again, and then
the retro-active reset feature is activated,
the display will show 5 miles (8 km).
As the vehicle begins moving, the display
will then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated after
the vehicle is started, but before it begins moving,
the display will show the number of miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) that were driven during the
last ignition cycle.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
the vehicle can be driven without refueling. The
display will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average
of the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent
driving history and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate will change if driving
conditions change. For example, if driving in
traffic and making frequent stops, this displaymay read one number, but if the vehicle is driven
on a freeway, the number may change even
though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank.
This is because different driving conditions
produce different fuel economies. Generally,
freeway driving produces better fuel economy
than city driving. Fuel range cannot be reset.
Average Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time this menu item was
reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY, press and
hold the set/reset button.
Fuel Used
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL USED
displays. This display shows the number of
gallons (gal) or liters (L) of fuel used since the last
reset of this menu item. To reset the fuel used
information, press and hold the set/reset button
while FUEL USED is displayed.

Timer
Press the trip/fuel button until TIMER displays.
This display can be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press the set/reset button

off. Time will continue to be counted as long as
the ignition is on, even if another display is being
shown on the DIC. The timer will record up to
99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds (99:59:59)
after which the display will return to zero.
To stop the timer, press the set/reset button briey
while TIMER is displayed.
To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the
set/reset button while TIMER is displayed.

of the automatic transmission uid in either
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
Instantaneous Economy and Active Fuel
Management™ Indicator
If your vehicle has this display, press the
trip/fuel button until INST ECONOMY V8 MODE
displays. This display shows the current fuel
economy at a particular moment and will
change frequently as driving conditions change.
This display shows the instantaneous fuel
economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters
per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). Unlike average
economy, this screen cannot be reset.
An Active Fuel Management™ indicator will
display on the right side of the DIC, while
INST ECONOMY displays on the left side.
Active Fuel Management™ allows the engine to
operate on either four or eight cylinders, depending
on your driving demands. When Active Fuel
Management™ is active, V4 MODE will display
on the DIC. When Active Fuel Management™
is inactive, V8 MODE will display. SeeActive Fuel
Management™ on page 127for more information.
