2006 SATURN RELAY reset

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 3-56for 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 3-56for 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 5-15. 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 5-18. The display will show 100%
when the system is reset.

Compass Calibration (Uplevel Only)
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to
compensate for compass variance and reset the zone
through the DIC.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass
in the vehicle could give false readings.
In order to do this, the compass must be set or
calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle is
travelling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the menu button until COMPASS ZONE
displays.
2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance
zone number on the map.
3. Press the set/reset button to scroll through and
select the appropriate variance zone.
4. Press the menu button to advance to the
COMPASS CALIBRATION screen.
5. To start the compass calibration, press and hold the
