2008 SATURN VUE lock

If the light stays on longer than a few seconds after you
start your engine, or comes on and stays on while
you are driving, try resetting the system. To reset the
system:
1. If you are driving, pull over when it is safe to do so.
2. Place the vehicle in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. Then restart the engine.
If the light remains on after resetting the system or
comes on again while driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the ABS light is on, but the regular brake
system warning light is not on, the antilock brakes are
not working properly, but the regular brakes are still
functioning. Have your vehicle serviced right away.
If both brake lights are on, you do not have antilock
brakes, and there’s a problem with your regular
brakes as well. Have your vehicle towed for service.
SeeTowing Your Vehicle on page 4-41.Speed Sensitive Power

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All information appears in the DIC display located in the
instrument panel cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC displays the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, outside
air temperature, compass information, and shift lever
position indicator.
To change the outside air temperature units from
English to metric, turn the reset stem on the instrument
panel cluster clockwise or counterclockwise until the
unit changes. This also changes the units displayed
in the navigation system, if your vehicle has this feature.
If there is a problem with the system that controls the
temperature display, the numbers will be replaced with
dashes. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer. If an abnormal temperature reading is
displayed for an extended period of time, consult your
dealer/retailer. Under certain circumstances, especially
when the engine is idling, a delay updating the
temperature display is normal.
SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation (Base) on
page 2-22orAutomatic Transmission Operation
(Uplevel) on page 2-25for more information.
DIC Operation and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different modes
which can be accessed by pressing the reset stem on
the instrument panel cluster. These modes are explained
in the following section. To scroll through the available
functions, press and release the reset stem.
Odometer

appears on the DIC. The odometer shows the total
distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles
for the United States or kilometers for Canada.
Trip Odometer

TRIP B appears on the DIC. The trip odometer shows
the current distance traveled since the last reset of

DIC Compass
Your vehicle has a compass in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
Your dealer/retailer will set the correct zone for your
location.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip or moving to a new state or
province, it will be necessary to compensate for compass
variance by resetting the zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the compass
is not set to the zone where you live, the compass may
give false readings. The compass must be set to the
variance zone in which the vehicle is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the following
procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure
1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is
moving. Only set it when the vehicle is in PARK (P).
Press the reset stem until C## is displayed.2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance
zone number/direction on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are available.
3. To select the appropriate variance zone, turn the
reset stem clockwise or counterclockwise and then
release to advance to the next available zone.
Repeat as needed.
If the zone does not change while turning the reset
stem, try turning it in the opposite direction.
