Highbeam On Light
This light will come on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light
This light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster. It comes on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 3-14for
further information.
Gate Ajar Light
If this light comes on,
your liftgate is not
completely closed.
Driving with the liftgate
open can cause carbon
monoxide (CO) to enter
the vehicle.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-25for more information.
Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on,
the fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel you
have left in your tank.
When the indicator nears empty, the low fuel light
will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you
should get more soon. SeeLow Fuel Warning Light
on page 3-38for more information.

The traction control system
can be turned off by
pressing the traction
control button, located
on the instrument panel
above the audio system.
The traction control system can be activated again by
pressing the traction control button.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press
the button, the traction control off light will appear on the
instrument panel cluster. The system will not turn off
until there is no longer a current need to limit wheel
spin. You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. If the light does not come
on, you may not have traction control and your vehicle
should be serviced by a dealer.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s
performance. SeeAccessories and Modications
on page 5-3for more information.All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD
system operates automatically without any action
required by the driver. If the front drive wheels begin
to slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to
drive the vehicle as required. There may be a slight
engagement noise during hard use but this is normal.
This light will come on
when engine torque is
reduced to protect
the AWD system from
overheating. You may
feel or hear a change
in engine output, but
this is normal.
During heavy AWD applications, the engine torque
may be reduced to protect AWD system components.
If the vehicle is exposed to extended heavy AWD
usage, the AWD system will shut itself off to protect
the system from overheating. When the system
cools down, the AWD system will activate itself again
automatically; this cool-down can take up to 20 minutes
depending on outside temperature and vehicle use.
