between Metric or US when the Unit
display is active. Press SET/CLR to
confirm the setting. On some
models, you will have to select 1, 2,
or 3 for the Unit display. 1 is
Imperial units, 2 is US units, and 3
is metric units. This will change the
displays on the cluster and DIC to
the type of measurements you
select.
Tire Pressure: May display 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). On some models, this display only allows for matching
of the TPMS sensors. In this case,
the display will show TIRE LEARN.
See
Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10-52 andTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 10-53.
Remaining Oil Life: Displays 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. This display
may be shown as
:%.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
See Engine Oil Messages on
page 5-29. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See
Engine Oil on page 10-11. In
addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Maintenance Schedule
on page 11-2. The Oil Life display must be reset
after each oil change. Do not 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, see
Engine Oil Life System
on page 10-15.
Battery Voltage: Displays the
current battery voltage, if equipped.
Battery voltage changes are normal
while driving. See Charging System
Light on page 5-13. If there is a
problem with the battery charging
system, the DIC will display a
message. See Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages on page 5-27.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level (Diesel
Engine Only): Displays the current
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level.
Remaining Fuel Filter (Diesel
Engine Only): Displays an
estimate of the remaining fuel filter
life. If REMAINING FUEL FILTER
50% is displayed, that means 50%
of the current fuel filter life remains.

What Fuel to Use in
Canada and Mexico
(Diesel)
Use only diesel fuel with ultra low
sulfur content (15 ppm maximum).
What Fuel to Use in Canada
{Caution
Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm sulfur
maximum) will cause damage to
the exhaust after-treatment
system. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not use marine,
locomotive, or boiler distillate fuel
since it may contain higher sulfur
levels.
Use diesel fuel that meets CAN/
CGSB-3.517 specification in
Canada. Contact a fuel supplier for
questions about fuel. Diesel Fuel Types
Fuels are blended for seasonal
changes. Diesel Type A fuel is
blended for better cold weather
starting in extreme conditions. This
may cause some power and fuel
economy loss. If Type A fuel is used
in warmer temperatures, stalling and
hard starting may occur. Diesel
Type B fuel is blended for higher
temperatures experienced during
most of the year.
Premium Diesel Fuel
If available, premium diesel fuel
(FQP-1A) corresponding to the
Engine Manufacturers Association
(EMA) Recommended Guideline
could provide better starting and
vehicle performance with less noise.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel
produced from vegetable oils or
animal fats that have been
chemically modified for normal
engine performance.
{Caution
Do not use home-made biodiesel
or home test kits because the
quality cannot be verified by
approved scientific methods. Do
not use raw vegetable oil or other
unmodified bio-oils, fats,
or blends of vegetable oil with
diesel. They could damage the
fuel system and engine, and
damages would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Biodiesel blends
Biodiesel blends that meet the CAN/
CGSB-3.522 specifications up to
20% (B20) can be used. Avoid the
use of biodiesel blends above 20%,
as they may damage the engine
and fuel system. For detailed
information on the use of biodiesel,
see Fuel for Diesel Engines on
page 9-54.

If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
DIC message comes back on when
the vehicle is started, the engine oil
life system has not reset. Repeat
the procedure.
Automatic Transmission
Fluid
How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible.
The vehicle is not equipped with a
transmission fluid level dipstick.
There is a special procedure for
checking and changing the
transmission fluid. Because this
procedure is difficult, this should be
done at the dealer. Contact the
dealer for additional information.Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed in
Maintenance
Schedule on page 11-2, and be sure
to use the fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11-12.
Manual Transmission
Fluid
How to Check Manual
Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 11-12
for the proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
For vehicles with a manual
transmission, it is not necessary to
regularly check brake/clutch fluid
unless there is a leak suspected. Adding fluid will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid
reservoir cap has either a symbol or
text specifying the type of brake
fluid. The common brake/clutch fluid
reservoir is filled with GM approved
DOT 3 brake fluid as indicated on
the reservoir cap. See
Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 10-6 for reservoir location.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the
