Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper resistant odometer.
The digital odometer will read 999,999 if someone
tries to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. If the new
one can be set to the mileage total of the old
odometer, then it must be. If not, then it is set at
zero and a label must be put on the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
Your trip odometer is located in the Driver
Information Center and shows how far your vehicle
has been driven since the trip odometer was
last reset. For more information seeDIC Operation
and Displays on page 193.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows your engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the solid red area, your vehicle
could be damaged. The damages would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not
operate the engine in the solid red area.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a
chime will come on for several seconds to remind
people to fasten their safety belts, unless the
driver’s safety belt is already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for several seconds,
then it will ash for
several more.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the
chime nor the light will come on.

DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different displays which can be
accessed by pressing the DIC buttons located
on the center of the instrument panel.
DIC Buttons
The buttons are the trip/fuel, vehicle information,
and set/reset buttons. The button functions
are detailed in the following pages.
3(Trip/Fuel):Press this button to scroll
through the trip and fuel displays. See “Trip/Fuel
Menu Items” following for more information
on these displays.
T(Vehicle Information):Press this button to
scroll through the vehicle information displays
and to personalize the feature settings on
your vehicle. See “Vehicle Information Menu
Items” following andDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 207for more information on these
displays.
V(Set/Reset):Press this button to set or reset
certain functions and to turn off or acknowledge
messages on the DIC.
Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3
(Trip/Fuel):Press this button to scroll
through the following displays:
ODOMETER
Press the trip/fuel button until ODOMETER
displays. This display shows the distance the
vehicle has been driven in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km). This display will also show
the outside air temperature in either degrees
Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
To change the DIC display to English or metric
units, see “UNITS” later in this section.
193

TRIP
Press the trip/fuel button until TRIP displays. This
display shows the current distance traveled in
either miles (mi) or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for each trip odometer. Both trip odometers
can be used at the same time. This display
will also show the outside air temperature in either
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).
Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately
by pressing the set/reset button while the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
AVERAGE SPEED
Press the trip/fuel button until AVERAGE SPEED
displays. This display 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 speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value. To reset
the value, press and hold the set/reset button.
The display will return to zero.
AVG (Average) ECONOMY
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This display 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 this display, press and hold the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until RANGE displays.
This display shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) the
vehicle can be driven without refueling.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average of
the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank. This estimate will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in traffic and making
frequent stops, this display 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.

Notice:The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance, and tire or tire chain clearance
to the body and chassis.
SeeChanging a Flat Tire on page 404for more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven.
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
If you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{CAUTION:
Do not use tire chains. There is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of clearance
can cause damage to the brakes,
suspension or other vehicle parts. The area
damaged by the tire chains could cause
you to lose control of your vehicle and you
or others may be injured in a crash.
Use another type of traction device only
if its manufacturer recommends it for use
on your vehicle and tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow that
manufacturer’s instructions. To help avoid
damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
readjust or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
your vehicle’s wheels. If you do nd
traction devices that will t, install them
on the front tires.
