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 10-66andTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 10-67.
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 11-2.
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

Head-Up Display (HUD)
{Warning
If the HUD image is too bright or
too high in your field of view, it
may take you more time to see
things you need to see when it is
dark outside. Be sure to keep the
HUD image dim and placed low in
your field of view.
If equipped with HUD, some
information concerning the
operation of the vehicle is projected
onto the windshield. This includes
but is not limited to the speedometer
reading, rpm reading, transmission
position, outside air temperature,
compass heading, and a brief
display of the current radio station,
including SiriusXM information or
CD track. It will also display
Turn-by-Turn Navigation information
if the vehicle has OnStar
®. The images are projected through the
HUD lens on the driver side of the
instrument panel.
{Caution
If you try to use the HUD image
as a parking aid, you may
misjudge the distance and
damage your vehicle. Do not use
the HUD image as a parking aid.
The tap shift gear will appear on the
HUD if the vehicle has tap shift and
it is active. The shift timing lights
and a lateral acceleration (G-Force)
indicator may also appear.
The language of the HUD
information displayed can be
changed. The speedometer reading
and other numerical values can be
displayed in either English or metric
units.
The language selection is changed
through the radio and the units of
