Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible, it is
set at zero and a label is put on the
driver's door to show the old
mileage reading.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can record the
number of miles, used in the United
States, or kilometers, used in
Canada, traveled for up to two trips.Cycle between the odometer and
trip odometers A and B by pressing
the reset button located in the lower
right area of the speedometer. Press
the reset button to tell how many
miles or kilometers have been
recorded on either Trip A or Trip B
since the trip odometer was last set
back to zero.
To reset each trip odometer to zero,
press and hold the reset button. The
reset button resets only the trip
odometer that is being displayed.
Each trip odometer must be reset
individually.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Fuel Gage
United StatesCanada
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage indicates how much fuel is left
in the tank.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There is still
a little fuel left, but the fuel tank
should be refilled soon. See Low
Fuel Warning Light
on page 5‑23for more information.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.

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.
SeeCompass
on page 5‑5and
Automatic Transmissionon
page 9‑35for more information.
The DIC has different displays
which can be accessed by pressing
the DIC buttons located on the
instrument panel, below the
headlamp switch.
The DIC displays trip, fuel, and
vehicle system information, and
warning messages if a system
problem is detected. DIC Buttons
The buttons are the trip/fuel, vehicle
information, customization, and set/
reset buttons. The button functions
are detailed in the following pages.
3(Trip/Fuel):
Press this button
to display the odometer, trip
odometer, fuel range, average
economy, fuel used, and elapsed
time. Some vehicles also display
instantaneous economy. The
compass and outside temperature
will also be shown in the display.
The temperature will be shown in
°F or °C depending on the units
selected.
T(Vehicle Information): Press
this button to display the oil life,
units, tire pressure readings and tire
pressure sensor learning for
vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
programming, compass zone
setting, compass recalibration on
vehicles with this feature, coolant
temperature, and battery voltage.
U(Customization): Press this
button to customize the feature
settings on your vehicle. See
Vehicle Personalization
on
page 5‑39for more information.
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 menu
items:
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). Pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will also
display the odometer.
To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “Units”
later in this section.
Trip Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until
TRIP A or TRIP B displays. This
display shows the current distance
traveled in either miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) since the last reset
for the trip odometer. Pressing the
trip odometer reset stem will also
display the trip odometer. Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the set/
reset button while the trip odometer
is displayed. You can also reset the
trip odometer while it is displayed by
pressing and holding the trip
odometer reset stem.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level
is low.
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 thoughthe 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 the vehicle is low on fuel, the
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be
displayed. See
“FUEL LEVEL LOW”
under Fuel System Messages
on
page 5‑34.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the
approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or
kilometers per liter (km/L). This
number is calculated based on the
number of mpg (L/100 km) (km/L)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. To reset the
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, press
and hold the set/reset button. The
display will show zero.

Vehicle 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.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you can press
any of the DIC buttons, or the trip
odometer reset stem on the
instrument panel cluster to
acknowledge that you received the
messages and to clear them from
the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display because they
are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. Take any messages that
appear on the display seriously and
remember that clearing the
messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct the
problem.You will find the possible messages
that can be displayed and some
information about them grouped by
subject in the following information.
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
This message displays when the
charging system detects that the
battery is being drained. You may
notice that the vehicle attempts to
reduce the drain for you by turning
off accessories, such as interior
fans, rear defogger, and heated
seats. Turn off all accessories. If the
vehicle is not running, start and run
the engine for at least 10 minutes to
allow the battery to recharge. If the
engine is running and the condition
persists, see your dealer/retailer
immediately.
Brake System Messages

the brake system warning light if
there is a problem with the brake
system or when the brake fluid level
is low. See
Brake System Warning
Light
on page 5‑18. Have the brake
system serviced by your dealer/
retailer as soon as possible.

10-64 Vehicle Care
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 or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new Saturn
original equipment parts. This way,
you will be sure to have the right
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts
for your vehicle.{WARNING
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.
See If a Tire Goes Flat
on
page 10‑65for more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
{WARNING
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 Saturn original
equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{WARNING
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,
