Service Four-Wheel Drive
Warning Light
This light should come on
briey when you turn on
the ignition, as a check to
show you it is working.
The service four-wheel drive light comes on to indicate
that there may be a problem with the drive system
and service is required. Malfunctions can be indicated
by the system before any problem is apparent,
which may prevent serious damage to the vehicle.
This system is also designed to assist your GM dealer
in correctly diagnosing a malfunction.
Check Gages Warning Light
The check gages light will
come on briey when you
are starting the engine.
If the light comes on and stays on while you are driving,

Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel gage tells you about
how much fuel you have remaining.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than the
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 moves a little when you turn a corner or
speed up.
The gage doesn’t go 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.
Check Gas Cap Light
If equipped, this light will
come on if your gas cap is
not securely fastened.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle may have this feature. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) display is located on the
instrument panel cluster, below the speedometer.
The DIC buttons, if equipped, are located on the
steering wheel. The DIC can display information such
as the trip odometer, fuel economy, customization
features and warning/status messages.
If your vehicle is not equipped with the DIC steering
wheel buttons, you will not have all of the features listed.
You will scroll through the odometer, trip odometer and
engine hours by pressing the trip odometer reset stem
located on the instrument panel cluster. You will also turn

DIC Operation and Displays

delay the DIC will display the current driver and the
information that was last displayed before the engine

any warning or service messages. Pressing any of
the DIC steering wheel buttons — trip information, fuel
information, customization or select button — will also

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 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. More than one message may
appear at one time. They will appear one behind
the other. Some messages may not require immediate
action but you should press the trip stem to
acknowledge that you received the message and clear it
from the display. Pressing any of the DIC steering
wheel buttons — trip information, fuel information,
customization or select button — will also acknowledge
any warnings or service messages. Some messages

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.
