Shows the approximate average liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per
gallon (mpg). This number is calculated
based on the number of L/100 km (mpg)
recorded since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number reflects only the
approximate average fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now, and will change as
driving conditions change. The Average Fuel
Economy can be reset by pressing
Vand
selecting yes or no while this display is
active.
Fuel Range : Shows the approximate
distance the vehicle can be driven without
refueling. LOW will be displayed when the vehicle is low on fuel. 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 Information :
Shows the fuel range and
instantaneous fuel economy.
Oil Life : 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. The oil should be
changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil
0 258. In addition to the engine oil life
system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended. See the
Maintenance Schedule booklet.
The Oil Life display must be reset after each
oil change. It will not reset itself. 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
0 260. Tire Pressure :
Shows the approximate
pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is
displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in
pounds per square inch (psi). If the
pressure is low, the value for that tire is
shown in amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor
System 0286 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0287.
Air Filter Life : Shows an estimate of the
engine air filter’s remaining useful life and
the state of the system. Engine Air Filter Life
95% means 95% of the current air filter life
remains. Messages will display based on the
engine air filter life and the state of the
system. When the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL
CHANGE message displays, the engine air
filter should be replaced at the time of the
next oil change. When the REPLACE SOON
message displays, the engine air filter
should be replaced at the earliest
convenience.
The Air Filter Life display must be reset after
the engine air filter replacement. To reset,
see Engine Air Filter Life System 0261.
Fuel Economy : Displays average fuel
economy, the best fuel economy over the
selected distance, and a bar graph showing
instantaneous fuel economy.

temperature is cold and the outside
temperature is about 7 °C (44 °F) and below.
The auto rear defogger turns off
automatically.
If equipped, the heated outside mirrors turn
on when the rear window defogger button
is on and help to clear fog or frost from the
surface of the mirror. SeeHeated Mirrors
0 25.
Caution
Do not try to clear frost or other material
from the inside of the front windshield
and rear window with a razor blade or
anything else that is sharp. This may
damage the rear window defogger grid
and affect the radio's ability to pick up
stations clearly. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate
control system may run when the vehicle is
started remotely. If equipped with heated or
ventilated seats or a heated steering wheel,
these features may come on during a
remote start. See Remote Vehicle Start 012,
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 039, and
Heated Steering Wheel 082.
Sensor
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument
panel near the windshield, monitors the
solar heat.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly.
Interior Air Quality
If equipped, the Interior Air Quality display
indicates the concentration of PM2.5
(2.5 micron and smaller) pollution present in the interior air of the vehicle. The source of
this pollution is the environment
surrounding the vehicle. Your vehicle is
equipped with a cabin filter which cleans the
air and reduces this pollution anytime the
HVAC is on.
The displayed value is updated every few
seconds by a sensor in the vehicle’s interior.
Higher numbers indicate a higher level of
pollution in the air while lower numbers
indicate cleaner air. A reading of zero
indicates the pollution level is too low to be
read by the sensor.
The interior air quality level is displayed in
the application which can be opened from
the home screen. The interior air quality
level may also be continually displayed in
the lower right corner of the screen. This
can be turned on or off by selecting the
Settings menu, then Applications, and then
Air Quality.
The number scaling, colors, and categories
are set according to regional standards.
More information is available by touching
the screen within the Interior Air Quality
application. For more information on the
pollution scale in your region visit:

Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
the air inlets at the base of the
windshield that can block the flow of air
into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep all outlets open whenever possible
for best system performance.
.Keep the path under all seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside the
vehicle more effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect the performance of
the system.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The filter removes dust, pollen, and other
airborne irritants from outside air that is
pulled into the vehicle.
The filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. To find out

Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See your dealer for service.
