If an abnormal temperature reading
is displayed for an extended period
of time, consult your dealer. Under
certain circumstances, especially
when the engine is idling, a delay in
updating the temperature display is
normal.
SeeCompass on page 5-4 and
Automatic Transmission on
page 9-21.
The DIC has different displays
which can be accessed by pressing
the DIC buttons on the instrument
panel, below the exterior lamps
control.
DIC Buttons
There are trip/fuel, vehicle
information, customization, and set/
reset buttons. The button functions
are detailed in the following pages.
3(Trip/Fuel): Press this button
to display the odometer, trip
odometer, fuel range, average fuel
economy, fuel used, and elapsed
time. Some vehicles also display
instantaneous fuel economy. The
compass and outside temperature
will also be shown in the display.
The temperature will be shown in °C
or °F depending on the units
selected.
T(Vehicle Information): Press
this button to display the oil life, rear
park assist, units, tire pressure
readings and tire pressure sensor
learning for vehicles with the Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS),
compass zone setting, compass
recalibration on vehicles with this
feature, coolant temperature, and
battery voltage.
U(Customization): Press this
button to customize the feature
settings on the vehicle. See Vehicle
Personalization on page 5-35.
V(Set/Reset): Press this button to
set or reset certain functions and to
turn off or acknowledge messages
on the DIC.
Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3(Trip/Fuel): Press this button
to scroll through the following menu
items:
Odometer
Press

displays. This display shows the
distance the vehicle has been
driven in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi). Pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will also
display the odometer.
To switch between metric and
English measurements, see “Units”
later in this section.
Trip Odometer
Press
3until TRIP A or TRIP B
displays. This display shows the
current distance traveled in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) since

the last reset for the trip odometer.
Pressing the trip odometer reset
stem will also display the trip
odometer.
Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing
Vwhile
the trip odometer is displayed. You
can also reset the trip odometer
while it is displayed by pressing and
holding the trip odometer
reset stem.
Fuel Range
Press
3until RANGE displays.
This display shows the approximate
number of remaining kilometers (km)
or miles (mi) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. This 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 display
may 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.
If the vehicle is low on fuel, the
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be
displayed. See
Fuel System
Messages on page 5-31.
Average Fuel Economy
Press
3until AVERAGE FUEL
ECONOMY displays. This display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or kilometers per liter (km/L) or
miles per gallon (mpg). This number
reflects only the approximate
average fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now, and will
change as driving conditions change. This number is calculated
based on the number of L/100 km
(km/L) (mpg) recorded since the last
time this menu item was reset. To
reset the AVERAGE FUEL
ECONOMY, press and hold
V. The
display will show zero.
Fuel Used
Press
3until FUEL USED
displays. This display shows the
number of liters (L) or gallons (gal)
of fuel used since the last reset of
this menu item. To reset the fuel
used information, press and hold
V
while FUEL USED is displayed.
Elapsed Time
Press
3until ELAPSED TIME
displays. This display can be used
as a timer.
To start the timer, press the set/
reset button while ELAPSED TIME
is displayed. The display will show
the amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset, not
including time the ignition is off.

Vehicle Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status of
the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by the
driver to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear one
after another.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you can press
any of the DIC buttons, or the trip
odometer reset stem on the
instrument cluster, to acknowledge
that you received the messages and
to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display because they
are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. Take any messages that
appear on the display seriously and
remember that clearing the
messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the
problem.You will find the possible messages
that can be displayed and some
information about them grouped by
subject in the following information.

system. A warning light also
appears on the instrument cluster.
See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control on page 9-28.
If this message turns on while you

performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum
required by law. Warning: The
temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels were aligned
and balanced at the factory to
provide the longest tire life and best
overall performance. Adjustments to
wheel alignment and tire balancing
are not necessary on a regular
basis. Consider an alignment check
if there is unusual tire wear or the
vehicle is significantly pulling to one
side or the other. Some slight pull to
the left or right, depending on the
crown of the road and/or other roadsurface variations such as troughs
or ruts, is normal. If the vehicle is
vibrating when driving on a smooth
road, the tires and wheels may need
to be rebalanced. See your dealer
for proper diagnosis.
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.
Some aluminum wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel
nuts, or Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) sensors with new
GM original equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel
nuts can be dangerous. It could
affect the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing
a crash. Always use the correct
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel
nuts for replacement.
{Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp
aim, bumper height, vehicle
