Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature. If the gauge
pointer moves to the H or the
shaded area, the engine coolant is
operating hotter than normal. It is
acceptable if this happens during
aggressive driving or race track
usage. The DIC will display a
warning message if the engine
coolant temperature exceeds an
acceptable level. See Engine
Cooling System Messages on
page 5-35.

Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tires are significantly
underinflated.
A Driver Information Center (DIC)
tire pressure message may also
display. SeeTire Messages on
page 5-40. Stop as soon as
possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label. See
Tire Pressure on page 10-65. When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10-68.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
{Caution
Lack of proper engine oil
maintenance can damage the
engine. Driving with the engine
oil low can also damage the
engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Check the oil level as soon as
possible. Add oil if required, but if
the oil level is within the operating
range and the oil pressure is still
low, have the vehicle serviced.
Always follow the maintenance
schedule for changing engine oil.
This light should come on briefly as
the engine is started. If it does not
come on, have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer.
If the light comes on and stays on, it
means that oil is not flowing through
the engine properly. The vehicle
could be low on oil and might have
some other system problem. See
your dealer.

Trip 1 and Trip 2
The Trip display shows the current
distance traveled, in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since
the last reset for the trip odometer.
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.
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.
Average Fuel Economy
The Average Fuel Economy display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). Thisnumber reflects only the
approximate average fuel economy
that the vehicle has right now,
and will change as driving
conditions change. This number is
calculated based on the number of
L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the
last time this menu item was reset.
The fuel economy can be reset by
pressing the SET/CLR button while
the Average Fuel Economy 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.

Unit
Move the band up or down to switch
between US or Metric when the Unit
display is active. Press SET/CLR to
confirm the setting. This will change
the displays on the cluster and DIC
to either English (US) or metric
measurements.
Tire Pressure
The display will show a vehicle with
the approximate pressures of all
four tires. Tire pressure is displayed
in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). See
Tire Pressure Monitor System on
page 10-67andTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 10-68.
Remaining Oil Life
This display shows an estimate of
the oil's remaining useful life.
If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is
displayed, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
See
Engine Oil Messages on
page 5-35. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 10-15. In
addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule on
page 11-3.
Remember, the Oil Life display must
be reset after each oil change. It will
not reset itself. Also, be careful not
to reset the Oil Life display
accidentally at any time other than
when the oil has just been changed.
It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system press the
SET/CLR button while the Oil Life
display is active. See Engine Oil
Life System on page 10-20. Coolant Temperature
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the temperature of
the engine cooling system fluid in
either degrees Celsius (°C) or
degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Battery Voltage
This display, available on some
vehicles, shows the current battery
voltage. If the voltage is in the
normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read
Battery Voltage 15.0 Volts. The
vehicle's charging system regulates
voltage based on the state of the
battery. The battery voltage can
fluctuate while viewing this
information on the DIC. This is
normal. See
Charging System Light
on page 5-16. If there is a problem
with the battery charging system,
the DIC will display a message. See
Battery Voltage and Charging
Messages on page 5-33.

7-12 Infotainment System
{Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass
tinting with metallic film. The
metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Diversity Antenna System
For vehicles with convertible tops,
the AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self-tuning system, and is in the rear
spoiler. It optimizes the AM and FM
signals relative to the vehicle's
position and radio station source.No maintenance or adjustments are
needed. Do not place loads on the
spoiler. If the spoiler is replaced, be
sure it is replaced with the correct
GM parts for the best AM and FM
reception.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna is for OnStar and
GPS (Global Positioning System).
Keep clear of obstructions for clear
reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, reception
can also be affected.
Audio Players
CD Player
The CD player can play audio CDs
and MP3 CDs.
The CD player will not play 8 cm
(3 in) CDs.
Care of CDs
Sound quality can be reduced due
to disc quality, recording method,
quality of the music recorded, and
how the disc has been handled.
Handle discs carefully and store
them in their original cases or other
protective cases away from direct
sunlight and dust. If the bottom
surface of a disc is damaged, the
disc may not play properly or at all.
Do not touch the bottom surface of
a disc while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up discs
by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
