2005 SATURN RELAY change time

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, theTIME 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.
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 3-49for 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 3-49for more information.
Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based
on the state of the battery. The battery voltage may
uctuate when viewing this information on the DIC. This
is normal.
Oil Life
Press the information button until OIL LIFE displays.
This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining
useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99% on the display, that
means 99% of the current oil life remains. The engine
oil life system will alert you to change your oil on a
schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the LOW OIL
PRESSURE message will appear on the display. You
should change your oil as soon as possible. SeeEngine
Oil on page 5-13. In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4for
more information.

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
cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.
To reset the engine oil life system, seeEngine Oil Life
System on page 5-16. The display will show 100%
when the system is reset.

DVD play, there may be a low hissing noise through
the speakers and/or headphones. If the hissing sound in
the wireless headphones seems excessive, make
sure that the headphone batteries are fully charged.
Some amount of hissing is normal.
