Speedometer and
Odometer
The speedometer shows the speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and
kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in
either miles (used in the United
States) or kilometers (used in
Canada).
The odometer mileage can be
checked without the vehicle running
by pressing the trip information
stem. See “Odometer” underDIC
Operation and Displays on
page 3-34for more information.
If the cluster is replaced the
new one will automatically detect
and update the vehicle’s
accumulated mileage.
Trip Odometer
The vehicle has a trip odometer that
indicates how far the vehicle has
been driven since the trip odometer
was last set to zero.
See “Trip Odometer” underDIC
Operation and Displays on
page 3-34for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If the engine is operated
while the tachometer is in the
shaded warning area, the vehicle
could be damaged, and the
damages would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do
not operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded
warning area.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the engine is started, a chime
sounds for several seconds to
remind the driver to fasten their
safety belt, unless it is already
buckled.
The safety belt light comes on and
stays on for several seconds,
then ashes for several more.
This chime and light are repeated if
the driver safety belt remains
unbuckled and the vehicle is in
motion. If the driver safety belt is
already buckled, neither the
chime nor the light comes on.
3-24 Instrument Panel

An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel
door is on.
Here are three things that can
happen but do not indicate a
problem with the fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump
shuts off before the gage
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to ll up than the gage indicated.
For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half
full, but it actually took a little
more or less than half the tank’s
capacity to ll the tank.
The gage moves a little when
turning a corner or speeding up.
When the fuel in the fuel tank is low,
a LOW FUEL message displays
on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-37
for more information.
Driver Information
Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays information such as the
trip odometer, personalization
features, and warning messages.
The DIC display is located on
the instrument panel cluster.
DIC Operation and
Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC)
comes on when the ignition is on.
If a problem is detected, a warning
message appears on the display.
Pressing and releasing the trip
odometer reset stem on the
DIC acknowledges some current
warnings or service messages.
Some messages only clear after the
required action has been taken.
The DIC has different modes which
can be accessed by pressing the
trip odometer reset stem on the DIC.
These modes are explained in thefollowing section. The DIC trip
odometer reset stem is located on
the instrument panel cluster
next to the DIC display. To scroll
through the available functions,
press and release the reset stem.
Trip Information
Odometer
The odometer is automatically
displayed on the DIC when you start
the vehicle. The odometer shows the
total distance the vehicle has been
driven in either miles for the United
States or kilometers for Canada.
Trip Odometer
Press and release the reset stem
until TRIP appears on the DIC
display. The trip odometer shows the
current distance traveled since the
last reset of the trip odometer in
either miles for the United States or
kilometers for Canada.
To reset the trip odometer, press
and hold the reset stem until
the display returns to zero.

RFA 3:This mode ashes the
parking lamps and sounds the horn
when you press the lock or
unlock buttons on the RKE
transmitter.
RFA 4:This mode disables RKE
feedback. There will be no feedback
when you press the lock or unlock

DIC Warnings and
Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status
of the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by
the driver to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear one
after another. The messages are
displayed for several seconds each.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you should
press and release the trip odometer
reset stem to acknowledge that
you received the messages and toclear them from the display. Each
message must be acknowledged
individually.
Some messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display because
they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they
can be cleared. You should take
any messages that appear on
the display seriously and remember
that clearing the messages only
makes the messages disappear, not
correct the problem.
The following are the possible
messages that can be displayed
and some information about them.
AC (Air Conditioning) OFF
This message displays when
the engine coolant temperature is
too high and the air conditioning
in the vehicle needs to be turned off.
SeeEngine Overheating on
page 5-27andClimate Control
System on page 3-19for more
information. This message displays
along with the ENG HOT message.
ABS (Antilock Brake System)
FAULT
This message displays if there is a
problem with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS). Check the ABS as
soon as possible and have the
vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer. SeeBrakes on
page 5-30andAntilock Brake
System (ABS) Warning Light on
page 3-28for more information.
Press and release the reset stem to
acknowledge the message and
clear it from the display.
BRAKES
This message displays if there is a
problem with the brakes. Check
the brakes as soon as possible and
have the vehicle serviced by
your dealer/retailer. SeeBrakes on
page 5-30andBrake System
Warning Light on page 3-27for
more information. Press and release
the reset stem to acknowledge
the message and clear it from the
display.
Instrument Panel 3-37

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent,
cracked, or badly rusted or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the wheel
leaks air, replace it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your
dealer/retailer if any of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer/retailer will know the
kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the
same load-carrying capacity,
diameter, width, offset, and be
mounted the same way as the one
it replaces.If you need to replace any of your
wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) sensors, replace them only
with new GM original equipment
parts. This way, you will be sure
to have the right wheel, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, and TPMS sensors
for your vehicle.
{CAUTION
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts
on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It could affect the braking and
handling of your vehicle, make
your tires lose air and make you
lose control. You could have a
collision in which you or others
could be injured. Always use the
correct wheel, wheel bolts, and
wheel nuts for replacement.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 5-66for more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{CAUTION
Putting a used wheel on the
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.
