instrument cluster HUMMER H2 2005 User Guide

Here are some situations you may experience with your
fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than the
fuel gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually
took a little more or less than half the tank’s
capacity to ll the tank.
The gage goes back to empty when you turn off the
ignition.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briey when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. SeeFuel on
page 5-5.

most current warnings or service messages. Some
warnings that cannot be acknowledged or cleared are:
ENGINE OVERHEATED, OIL PRESSURE LOW,
REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRANS HOT IDLE
ENGINE. These warnings must be dealt with
immediately and therefore cannot be cleared until the
problem has been corrected.You should take any message that appears on the
display seriously and remember that clearing the
message will only make the message disappear, not
correct the problem.

DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the Driver
Information Center (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.
If there is more than one message that needs to

messages may not require immediate action, but
you should press any of the four DIC buttons located on
the steering wheel or the trip odometer reset stem
located on the instrument panel cluster to acknowledge
that you received the messages and clear them from
the display. Some messages cannot be cleared from the
display because they are more urgent. These messagesrequire action before they can be removed from the DIC
display. You should 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. The following are the possible
messages that can be displayed and some information
about them.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
If the battery is not charging during operation, this
message will appear on the DIC. Driving with this
problem could drain your battery. Have the electrical
system checked as soon as possible. Pressing any of
the four DIC buttons or the trip odometer reset stem will
clear the message from the DIC display.

CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE
On some vehicles, if there is a problem with the
generator and battery charging system, this message
will appear on the DIC, a chime will sound and the
charging system light on the instrument panel cluster
will come on. SeeCharging System Light on page 3-31
for more information. Driving with this problem could
drain your battery. Turn off all unnecessary accessories.
Stop and turn off the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. Have the electrical system checked by your
GM dealer immediately.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
If the oil level in the vehicle is low, this message will
appear on the DIC. Check the oil level and correct it as
necessary. You may need to let the vehicle cool or
warm up and cycle the ignition to be sure this message
will clear. Once the problem is corrected, pressing
any of the four DIC buttons or the trip odometer reset
stem will clear this message from the DIC display. This

you should have the electrical system checked by
your GM dealer. Pressing any of the four DIC buttons or
the trip odometer reset stem will clear the message
from the DIC display.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
If the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly, this
message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel cluster. SeeMalfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-37. Reinstall the fuel cap, making sure
to fully install the cap. SeeFilling Your Tank on page 5-7.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing
fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should
turn the light and message off.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear

TRANSMISSION HOT
If the transmission uid temperature becomes high, this
message will appear on the DIC.
When the transmission enters the protection mode, you
may notice a change in the transmission shifting
patterns. When the transmission uid temperature
returns to normal, the display will turn off and the
transmission shifting patterns will return to normal.
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission uid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed on
the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC, you
can damage the transmission. This could lead to
costly repairs that would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not drive your vehicle with
overheated transmission uid or while transmission
temperature warning is displayed.
The following situations can cause the transmission to
operate at higher temperatures:
Towing a trailer
Hot outside air temperatures
Hauling a large or heavy load
Low transmission uid level
High transmission uid level
Restricted air ow to the radiator and the auxiliary
transmission oil cooler (if equipped)
A temporary solution to hotter transmission operating
temperatures may be to let the transmission cool down.
If the transmission is operated at higher temperatures
on a frequent basis, seeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4for the proper transmission maintenance
intervals.
TURN SIGNAL ON
If a turn signal is left on for 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), this
message will appear on the display and you will hear a
chime. Move the turn signal/multifunction lever to the
