2 (Panel): This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
+2 (Bi-Level): This setting will deliver warmer air to the
floor and cooler air
to the instrument panel outlets.
(Floor): This setting will deliver air to the floor
outlets.
+3 (Defog): See “Defogging and Defrosting” later in
this section.
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering your vehicle. The light on
the recirculation button will glow. This is helpful when
you are trying
to limit odors entering your vehicle and for
maximum air conditioning performance in hot weather.
Press this button again to allow outside air to enter
the vehicle. The light on the recirculation button
will go
off.
Pressing this button cancels the auto recirculation
feature.
To resume the auto recirculation function, press
the AUTO button. Each time the vehicle is started,
the system will revert
to the auto recirculation function.
If you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or
floor, the light on the button will flash and go out
to let
you know this is not allowed. This is
to prevent fogging. When
the weather is cool or damp, operating the
system in recirculation for extended periods of time may
cause fogging of the vehicle’s windows.
To clear the
fog, select either defog or front defrost. Be sure
A/C off
is not selected. You will want to allow the air
conditioning
to run automatically to help dehumidify
the air.
Display
If you press the MODE button to select an air delivery
mode, the display will change to show you the selected
air delivery mode. After ten seconds, the display will
change to show the driver temperature setting and the
selected mode.
If you press the up or down arrows on the fan switch,
the display will change to show the selected fan speed.
After ten seconds, the display will change
to show
the driver temperature setting and the selected mode.
Whenever you press AUTO, the display will change
to show the following:
the current driver’s set temperature and an arrow
for five seconds,
the current passenger’s set temperature setting and
an arrow for five seconds and
0 the automatic air delivery mode and fan speed.
3-22

If the driver’s and passenger’s temperature settings are
the same when AUTO
is pressed, the temperature
setting and both arrows will be displayed for five
seconds along with the automatic air delivery mode and
fan speed. After the five second update, the display
will change to show the temperature setting, both arrows
and AUTO.
Air Conditioning
a (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning compressor on and
off.
% (Air Conditioning Off): When you turn the air
conditioning
off, this symbol will appear on the display.
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode,
the system will run the air conditioning automatically to
cool and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle.
If
you select A/C off while in front defrost or defog, the
A/C off symbol will flash to let you know this is not
allowed. This is
to prevent fogging.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for
your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows
closed for the air conditioner to work its best. On
cool, but sunny days while using manual operation
of the automatic system, use bi-level
to deliver warm
air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the
temperature knob to the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the
system will maximize its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
Heating
On cold days when using manual operation of the
automatic system, choose floor mode to deliver air to
the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn
the temperature knob to the desired setting.
If you want to use the automatic mode, press
AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning the
temperature knob.
The heater works best
if you keep the windows closed
while using it.

acknowledge (clear) most current warnings or service
messages. Some warnings that cannot be
acknowledged (cleared) are: ENGINE OVERHEATED,

The DIC has different modes which can be accessed
by
pressing the four buttons on the DIC. These buttons
are trip information, fuel information, personalization and
select. The button functions are detailed in the
following.

Fuel Range GM Oil Life System
Press the fuel information button until RANGE appears
to display the remaining distance you can drive
without refueling. It’s based on fuel economy and the
fuel remaining in the tank. The display will show LOW
if
the fuel level is low.
The fuel economy data used
to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your
driving conditions change, this data is gradually updated. Fuel range cannot be reset.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the fuel information button until AVG ECON
appears in the display. Average fuel economy is how
many miles per gallon your vehicle is getting based on
current and past driving conditions.
Press and hold the select button for two seconds while
AVG ECON is displayed to reset the average fuel
economy. Average fuel economy will then be calculated
starting from that point. If the average fuel economy is not
reset, it will be continually updated each time you drive.
Instant Fuel Economy
Press the fuel information button until INST ECON
appears in the display. Instant fuel economy is how
many miles per gallon your vehicle is getting at
the particular moment in time. The instant fuel economy
cannot be reset. Press the fuel information button until
ENGINE OIL LIFE
appears in the display. The GM Oil Life System shows
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.
Always reset the engine oil life after an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System press and hold the select
button for five seconds while ENGINE OIL LIFE is
displayed. OIL LIFE RESET will appear on the display
for
10 seconds to let you know the system is reset.
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.
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
Engine Oil on page 5- 13.

If you choose English, all information will be displayed
in English units. For example, distance in miles and fuel
economy in miles per gallon.
Choose one of the two options and press the
personalization button while it is displayed on the DIC
to
select it and move on to the next feature.
Display Language
To select your personalization for display language,
press the select button while DISPLAY LANGUAGE is
displayed on the DIC. Pressing the select button

Choose one of the three options and press the
personalization button while it is displayed on the DIC
to
select it.
If you accidentally choose a language that you don’t
want or understand, press and hold the personalization
button and the trip information button at the same
time. The DIC will begin scrolling through the languages
in their particular language. English will be in English,
French will be in French and
so on. When you see
the language that you would like, release both buttons.
The
DIC will then display the information in the
language you chose. You can also scroll
through the different languages by
pressing and holding the trip reset stem for four seconds,
as long as you are in the season odometer mode.
DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning 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. If there is more than one message
that needs to be displayed they will appear one after
another. Some messages may not require immediate
action but you should press the select button to
acknowledge that you received the message and clear it
from the display. Some messages cannot be cleared
from the display because they are more urgent;
these messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. The following are the
possible messages that can be displayed and some
information about them.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
This message is displayed when the engine oil needs to
be changed. See GM Oil Life System previously in
