buttons. The button functions are detailed in
the following pages.

odometer, trip odometers, fuel range,
average economy, fuel used, timer, average
speed, and digital tachometer.
T: Press this button to display the oil

Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3: Press this button to scroll through
the following menu items:
Odometer
Press
3until XX km (mi) displays. This
display shows the distance the vehicle has
been driven in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi).
Trip Odometers
Press
3until A or B displays. This
display shows the current distance traveled
in either kilometers (km) or miles (mi) since
the last reset for each trip odometer. Both
trip odometers can be used at the
same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero
separately by pressing
Vwhile the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature called the
retro-active reset. This can be used to set
the trip odometer to the number of
kilometers (miles) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be used if the
trip odometer is not reset at the beginning
of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature, press
and hold
Vfor at least four seconds. The
trip odometer will display the number of
kilometers (km) or miles (mi) driven since
the ignition was last turned on and the
vehicle was moving. Once the vehicle begins
moving, the trip odometer will accumulate
mileage. For example, if the vehicle was
driven 8 km (5 miles) before it is started
again, and then the retro-active reset feature
is activated, the display will show 8 km
(5 miles). As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 8.1 km
(5.1 miles), 8.2 km (5.2 miles), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated
after the vehicle is started, but before it
begins moving, the display will show the
number of kilometers (km) or miles (mi) that
were driven during the last ignition cycle.

220 Vehicle Care
such as troughs or ruts, is normal. If the
vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tires and wheels may
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. Some aluminum
wheels can be repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that
is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original equipment
parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose air,
and cause loss of control, causing a crash.
Always use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement.
Caution
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.
Used Replacement Wheels
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used one is
dangerous. How it has been used or how
far it has been driven may be unknown.
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a new GM
original equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{Warning
Tire chains or other traction devices used
on a vehicle without the proper amount
of clearance can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts.
Use tire chains or traction devices only if
the equipment manufacturer recommends
them for the vehicle tire size combination
and road conditions. Follow the
equipment manfacturer’s instructions. The
area damaged by the tire chains could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle
and you or others may be injured in a
crash. To help avoid damage to the
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust, or remove
the device if it is contacting the vehicle.
Do not spin the vehicle's tires.
Caution
Use tire chains only where legal and only
when necessary. Use chains that are the
proper size for the tires. Install them on
the tires of the rear axle. Do not use
chains on the tires of the front axle.
