Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in either kilometers
per hour (km/h) or 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 door to show the old mileage
reading.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If the engine is operated
with the tachometer 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.

Trip
The Trip display shows the current
distance traveled, in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) , since
the trip odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer can be reset to
zero by pressing the trip reset stem
or the SET/CLR button while the trip
odometer display is showing.
Average Fuel Economy or
Average Fuel Economy and
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
The Average Fuel Economy
display shows the approximate
average liters per 100 kilometers
(L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number is
calculated based on the number of
L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the
last time this menu item was reset.
The Average Fuel Economy can be
reset by pressing SET/CLR while
the Average Fuel Economy display
is showing.
The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
display shows the current fuel
economy in either liters per100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles
per gallon (mpg). This number
reflects only the fuel economy
that the vehicle has right now
and changes frequently as driving
conditions change. Unlike average
economy, this display cannot be
reset.
Fuel Range
The Fuel Range display shows the
approximate distance 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. Fuel range cannot be
reset.
Fuel Used
The Fuel Used display shows
the approximate liters (L) or
gallons (gal) of fuel that have been
used since last reset. The fuel
used can be reset by pressing the
SET/CLR button while the Fuel
Used display is showing.
Average Vehicle Speed
The Average Vehicle Speed
display shows the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per
hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
This average is calculated based on
the various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value.
The average speed can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while
the Average Vehicle Speed display
is showing.
Timer
This display can be used as a
timer. To start the timer, press
SET/CLR while Timer is displayed.
The display will show the amount
of time that has passed since the
timer was last reset. To stop the
timer, press SET/CLR briefly while
Elapsed Time is displayed. To reset
the timer to zero, press and hold
SET/CLR.

9-28 Driving and Operating
Manual Mode
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Notice:If you drive the vehicle
at a high rpm without upshifting
while using Driver Shift Control
(DSC), you could damage the
vehicle. Always upshift when
necessary while using DSC.
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
allows you to shift an automatic
transmission similar to a manual
transmission. To use the DSC
feature:
1. Move the shift lever to the left from D (Drive) to
M (Manual Mode).
If you do not move the shift lever
forward or rearward, the vehicle
will be in Sport Mode. When you
are in Sport Mode the vehicle
will still shift automatically.
The transmission may remain
in a gear longer than it would in
the normal driving mode based
on braking, throttle input, and
vehicle lateral acceleration. SPORT MODE ON will be
displayed in the DIC. See
Ride
Control System Messages on
page 5‑37. The word “sport”
will display below the odometer.
The gear position will also be
indicated in the tachometer.
Within Sport Mode there is a
further performance feature
called Performance Mode Lift
Foot (PMLF) Mode. The feature
is activated automatically when
sports oriented driving is
detected, based on cornering
and on/off throttle application.
PMLF allows the transmission to
hold the current gear instead of
upshifting when the throttle is
lifted.
2. To enter M (Manual Mode), press the shift lever forward to upshift
or rearward to downshift.
An M will be displayed in
the DIC. 3. To return to Sport Mode from
M (Manual Mode), press and
briefly hold the shift lever
forward.
The tachometer display on the
instrument panel cluster will
show which gear the vehicle is in.
The number indicates the requested
gear range when moving the
shift lever forward or rearward.
See Tachometer on page 5‑12
for more information.
While using the DSC feature, the
vehicle will have firmer, quicker
shifting. You can use this for
sport driving or when climbing or
descending hills, to stay in gear
longer, or to down shift for more
power or engine braking.

Vehicle Care 10-75
Warning: The temperature grade
for this tire is established for a
tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels on the vehicle
were aligned and balanced carefully
at the factory to give the longest tire
life and best overall performance.
Adjustments to wheel alignment and
tire balancing will not be necessary
on a regular basis. However, if there
is unusual tire wear or the vehicle
pulls to one side or the other, the
alignment should be checked. If the
vehicle vibrates when driving on a
smooth road, the tires and wheels
might need to be rebalanced. See
your dealer for proper diagnosis.
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 if any of these
conditions exist.
Your dealer 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 the
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
the 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 10‑77 for more information.
