Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's
tires. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate
the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9 ‑ 10 .
The warning light will remain on until
the tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure. The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10 ‑ 45 .
Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays a CHANGE ENGINE

use either unleaded gasoline or
ethanol fuel containing up to 85%

Instruments and Controls 5-5Compass Zone
The zone is set to Zone 8 upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer 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
P (Park).
Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
V TO SET
COMPASS ZONE: ## displays. 2. Find the vehicle's current
location and variance zone
number on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are
available.
3. Press and hold the set/reset
button to scroll through and
select the appropriate
variance zone.
4. Press the trip/fuel button until
the vehicle heading, for
example, N for North, is
displayed in the DIC.
5. If calibration is necessary,
calibrate the compass. See
“ Compass Calibration
Procedure ” following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the
vehicle in circles is not a danger.

Black plate (6,1)Chevrolet Captiva Sport Owner Manual - 2013 - crc - 11/12/12
5-6 Instruments and Controls It is suggested to calibrate away
from tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the
DIC display, the compass should be
calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change
after making turns, there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Such interference
may be caused by a magnetic CB or
cell phone antenna mount, a
magnetic emergency light, magnetic
note pad holder, or any other
magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn
on the vehicle and calibrate the
compass. To calibrate the compass, use the
following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
make sure the compass is set to
the variance zone in which the
vehicle is located. See
“ Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure ” earlier in this
section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof,
climate controls, seats, etc.
during the calibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
V TO
CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to
start the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display
CALIBRATING COMPASS:
TURN IN CIRCLES. Drive the
vehicle in tight circles at less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) to complete
the calibration. The DIC will display COMPASS
CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a
few seconds when the
calibration is complete. The DIC
display will then return to the
previous menu.
Clock To set the time and date:
1. Turn the ignition key to ACC/
ACCESSORY or ON/RUN.

3. Press the softkey below any one
of the tabs to be changed.
4. To increase the time or date do
one of the following: .
Press the softkey below the
selected tab. .

5-10 Instruments and Controls
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.
Trip Odometer The trip odometer can record the
number of miles, or kilometers,
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 Gauge
