HomeLink®Wireless Control
System Operation
Do not use the HomeLink®Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982. If you have a newer
garage door opener with rolling codes, please be
sure to follow Steps 6 through 8 to complete the
programming of your HomeLink
®Transmitter.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to
program the HomeLink
®Transmitter. Because of
the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming the
transmitter.Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink
®programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink®
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink®on the
Internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1-800-355-3515.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display located in
the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer. The
DIC buttons are located on the center of the instrument
panel, below the center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2)
if a personalized key 1 or 2 is used, and then the
information that was last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, fuel
economy, trip computer, vehicle system information, and
compass display, if equipped. It also displays warning
messages if a system problem is detected. In addition,
the DIC displays phone numbers that are called
using the OnStar
®system, if equipped. SeeOnStar®
System on page 2-44.If equipped, the outside air temperature automatically
appears in the bottom right corner of the DIC display
when viewing all of the information screens, except for
the oil life screens. If the outside air temperature is
at or below 37°F (3°C), the temperature reading
will toggle between displaying the outside temperature
and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is a problem
with the system that controls the temperature display,
the letters OC (open circuit) or SC (short circuit)
will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the
vehicle serviced by your GM dealer.
The DIC also allows some features to be customized or
personalized, if equipped. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-68for more
information.
DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by

through the following items:
Odometer
Press the information button until the odometer displays.
This mode shows the distance the vehicle has been
driven in either miles or kilometers.
Trip A and Trip B
Press the information button until A or B displays. This
mode shows the current distance traveled in either
miles or kilometers since the last reset for each
trip odometer. Both trip odometers can be used at the
same time.
The display will show the odometer on the top line and
the trip odometer information, either A or B, on the
bottom line.
Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by
pressing the set/reset button while the desired trip
odometer is displayed.
3-46

There is also a retroactive trip odometer function that
performs the following for each trip odometer:
If the vehicle’s speed has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h)
during the current ignition cycle, this function will
set the trip odometer to the distance driven
during the current ignition cycle.
If the vehicle’s speed has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h), this function will set the trip odometer
to the distance driven during the previous ignition
cycle plus the distance driven during the current
ignition cycle.
Press and hold the set/reset button for three seconds,
then release the button. The retroactive trip odometer
value will be set into the currently displayed trip
odometer.
Time Elapsed
Press the information button until TIME ELAPSED :00
displays. This mode is like a stopwatch, in that you can
clock the time it takes to get from one point to another.
Each of the elds for the hours, minutes, and seconds
are two numeric digits.Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the
set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the
set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting
and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the
TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing
where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press
and hold the set/reset button for approximately
1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero.
Average Speed
Press the information button until AVERAGE SPEED
displays. This mode shows the average speed of the
vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour
(km/h). This average is calculated based on the various
vehicle speed recorded since the last reset of this value.
To reset the value, press the information button to display
AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the set/reset
button. The display will return to zero.
3-47

Fuel Range
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the approximate number of
remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be
driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc. This
estimate will change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent
stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle
is driven on a freeway, the number may change even
though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This
is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
produces better fuel economy than city driving.
Fuel range cannot be reset.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will
display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW
FUEL” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-51for more information.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the
number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY,
press and hold the set/reset button. The display
will return to zero.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
Press the information button until INST ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the current fuel economy at
a particular moment and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. This mode shows the
instantaneous fuel economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). Unlike average
fuel economy, this screen cannot be reset.
Battery
Press the information button until BATTERY displays.
This mode shows the current battery voltage.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system, a
DIC message will display. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-51for more information.
