Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Simply press the trip information
stem. See “Odometer” underDIC Controls
and Displays on page 198for more information.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. If the new one
can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer,
then it must be. But if it cannot, then it is set at
zero, and a label must be put on the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
Your vehicle has a trip odometer that can tell
you how far your vehicle has been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero.
See “Trip Odometer” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 198for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer
in the shaded warning area.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays
information such as the trip odometer,
personalization features, and warning messages.
The DIC display is located on the instrument
panel cluster.
DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on
when the ignition is on.
If a problem is detected, a warning message
appears on the display. Pressing and releasing
the trip odometer reset stem on the DIC
acknowledges some current warnings or service
messages. Some messages only clear after
the required action has been taken.
The DIC has different modes which can be
accessed by pressing the trip odometer reset stem
on the DIC. These modes are explained in the
following section. The DIC trip odometer reset stem
is located on the instrument panel cluster next to
the DIC display. To scroll through the available
functions, press and release the reset stem.
Trip Information
Odometer
The odometer is automatically displayed on the
DIC when you start the vehicle. The odometer
shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven in either miles for the United States
or kilometers for Canada.
Trip Odometer
Press and release the reset stem until TRIP
appears on the DIC display. The trip odometer
shows the current distance traveled since the last
reset of the trip odometer in either miles for the
United States or kilometers for Canada.
To reset the trip odometer, press and hold the
reset stem until the display returns to zero.

DIC Warnings and 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. The messages are
displayed for several seconds each.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you should press and release the
trip odometer reset stem to acknowledge that you
received the messages and to clear them from
the display. Each message must be acknowledged
individually.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the
DIC display because they are more urgent.
These messages require action before they
can be cleared. You should take any messages
that appear on the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages only makes the
messages disappear, not correct the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
AC (Air Conditioning) OFF
This message displays when the engine coolant
temperature is too high and the air conditioning
in your vehicle needs to be turned off. SeeEngine
Overheating on page 348andClimate Control
System on page 177for more information.
This message displays along with the ENG HOT
message.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) FAULT
This message displays if there is a problem
with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Check
the ABS as soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer. SeeBrakes on
page 357andAnti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light on page 190for more information. Press
and release the reset stem to acknowledge
the message and clear it from the display.
BRAKES
This message displays if there is a problem with
the brakes. Check the brakes as soon as possible
and have your vehicle serviced by your dealer.

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 400for more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven.
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
If you have to replace a wheel, use a
new GM original equipment wheel.
