2-81 Oil Life
The GM Oil Life System
is the only function
accessible in the OIL mode. Engine oil life is displayed
in a reading such as:
OIL LIFE 30%
This is an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life.
It will show 100% when the system is reset after an
oil change. It will alert you to change your oil on a
schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the system will
alert you with this message:
CHANGE OIL SOON
When the oil life is down to zero, you will receive
this message:
CHANGE OIL NOW
Always reset the OIL LIFE reminder after an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System, see ªOil Life Systemº in
the Index. Also, see ªEngine Oil, When to Changeº in
the Index.Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself
after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be
careful not to reset the OIL LIFE accidentally at any
time other than when the oil has just been changed.
It can't be reset accurately until the next oil change.
The DIC does not replace the need to maintain your
vehicle as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule
in this manual. Also, the oil change reminder will not
detect dusty conditions or engine malfunctions that may
affect the oil. If you drive in dusty areas, change your
oil after every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or three months,
whichever occurs first, unless the DIC instructs you to
do so sooner. Also, the oil change reminder does not
measure how much oil you have in your engine. So,
be sure to check your oil level often. See ªEngine Oilº
in the Index.

The DIC is used to program the personal choices of
two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1
and DRIVER 2. You will let the DIC and the vehicle
know which driver you are by using your remote lock
control transmitter or by pressing the appropriate
memory seat control button located on the driver's door
or choosing the driver with the DIC. Each remote lock
control transmitter was pre
-programmed to belong to
DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2. The personalization features
may be programmed differently for each driver.
When you press the unlock symbol on the transmitter,
the DIC will automatically change driver numbers and the
vehicle will recall the personal choice settings that were
last made to correspond to your transmitter, including
your radio and comfort control settings. See ªComfort
Controls, Personalizationº in the Index.
If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead
of your transmitter, the personal choice settings will
correspond to the previous driver of the vehicle as
identified by a transmitter, a memory seat control or
through the DIC. If this happens and you were not
the last driver of the vehicle, press your correct driver
number on the memory seat controls, press the
unlock symbol on your transmitter or select the
personalization programming mode and choose the
correct driver number.After you have the correct driver number on the display

RECIRC: Press this button to limit the amount
of outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when
you are trying to cool the interior of the vehicle quickly
or limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle
for some other reason. The RECIRC button and the
AUTO
-PUSH knob may be selected at the same time.
The system will remain in RECIRC until the ignition
is turned off, then the system will return back to the
previously selected mode. RECIRC may be selected
in all manual airflow modes except front defrost.
When the weather is cool or damp, operating in
RECIRC for extended periods of time may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog,
switch back to outside air by turning off RECIRC,
select either DEFOG or front defrost mode and increase
the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows,
minimize your use of RECIRC under these conditions
and turn the A/C on to help dehumidify the air.
A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
compressor on and off. If the system is operating in
the automatic mode, the A/C indicator light will
automatically illuminate. In the auto mode, the
A/C compressor will only operate when the system
determines it is needed.OFF: Turn the AUTO
-PUSH knob to OFF. Turning
the system off will cause the fan to turn off and the
airflow to be directed out the lower floor outlets. The
system will still try to keep the interior of the vehicle
at the previously chosen comfort setting. The outside
temperature will show in the display when the system
is set to OFF.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air for
the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor is enabled in all
modes unless the A/C button is in the off position
(the indicator light will not be illuminated). However,
the air conditioning compressor will not operate when
the outside temperature is below 34
F (1
C). When
the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice
slight changes in your vehicle's engine speed and power.
This is normal, because the system is designed to cycle
the compressor on and off to keep the desired cooling
and help fuel economy.
