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

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.

per gallon your vehicle is at the particular moment
in time. The instant fuel economy cannot be reset.

appears in the display. The GM Oil Life SystemTM
shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. It
