Turn Signal on Chime
A chime will remind you if you leave the turn signal on
for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km) of driving.

3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it
back on.
Headlamps
The headlamp band on the turn signal/multifunction
lever controls these lamps:

Headlamps

Taillamps

Parking lamps

Sidemarker lamps
Turn the band to this symbol to turn on the parking
and other operating lamps except for the headlamps.
Turn the band to this symbol to turn on the
headlamps and other operating lamps.

To read the odometer with the ignition off, turn on the
parking lamps.Headlamp Doors
The headlamp doors are designed to open when you
turn the headlamps on, and close when you turn the
headlamps and parking lamps off. If you turn the
headlamps on, then turn back to the parking lamps
setting, the headlamp doors will stay open.

2-73 Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in either miles
per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
You may note that there are not two separate scales
for mph and km/h. When you press the E/M
(English/metric) button on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), 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.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. The mileage total of the new
odometer will be set to the original miles (kilometers)
of the old odometer. See your dealer if a new odometer
must be replaced in your vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Fuel will shut off at about 6200 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.
Warning Lights, Gages and Messages
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.

Odometer
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven in either miles or kilometers. Press the TRIP
button to display odometer readings such as:

ODOMETER 12345 MI or

ODOMETER 20008 km
Without the keys in the ignition, you can also display the
odometer by turning on the parking lamps.
Trip Odometers
There are two trip odometers. Press the TRIP button and
TRIP A will be displayed. Press it again and TRIP B
will be displayed. TRIP A could be used to track the
distance to a destination. TRIP B could be used to track
maintenance periods.

TRIP A 130.5 MI or

TRIP A 209.9 km

TRIP B 300.5 MI or

TRIP B 483.5 km
The trip odometers can be reset by pushing the RESET
button on the DIC. Both of the trip odometers can be
used simultaneously.Miles Since Last Ignition Feature
You can also display number of miles (kilometers)
driven since you last started the vehicle if you press and
hold the RESET button for two seconds, then release.
The miles (or kilometers) since the last ignition cycle
will be set into the trip odometer.
Elapsed Time
Press the TRIP button until ELAP. TIME is displayed,
such as ELAP. TIME 00:00:00.00
When the ignition is in ON, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) can be used as a stopwatch. The display
can show hours, minutes, seconds and hundredths of
a second. The elapsed time indicator will record up to
99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, then it will reset to
zero and continue counting. (Hundredths are shown up
to 59 minutes, 59 seconds and 99 hundredths). The
display appears as ELAP. TIME 00:00:00.00 in the
elapsed time function.
You can start or stop the elapsed time by pressing
RESET. To reset the elapsed time to zero, stop the
timer by pressing RESET. Then press and hold RESET
until ELAP. TIME 00:00:00.00 appears in the DIC.

6-49 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.
Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are not
needed. However, 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.
