Warning Lights, Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair
or replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly when
the propulsion system is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the warning
lights comes on and stays on while driving,
or when one of the gauges shows there
may be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a preview of
information that includes electric range,
charging, odometer, and battery status. This
happens upon entry when the driver door is
opened, before starting the vehicle. This
preview will dismiss after starting the
vehicle or soon after closing the driver door.

Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven since the trip
odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and reset
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
SeeDriver Information Center (DIC) 099.
Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
Enhanced Battery Gauge
This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge. The value in the center is an
estimate of how far the vehicle can be
driven on the remaining charge based on
driving habits and conditions learned over
several days. The Max and Min values above and below
the display indicate the longest and shortest
possible range as estimated from current
vehicle conditions and climate settings.
The mileage estimate and Max and Min
numbers are affected by climate control
system usage. Estimated range may increase
or decrease based on changes in climate
control energy consumption.
A trend bar on the far left estimates how
recent driving habits, conditions, and climate
settings are affecting the range prediction.
When the high voltage battery state of
charge is very low, the estimated range
value in the center will change to Low. Max
and Min ranges will no longer be displayed.
Additional alerts may display and a sound
may also be heard at low state of charge.

odometer was last reset. The trip odometer
can be reset by pressing and holding
V
while this display is active.
The Average Electrical Energy Economy
display shows the approximate average kWh
per 100 kilometers (kWh/100 km) or miles
per kWh. This number is calculated based on
the number of kWh/100 km recorded since
the last time this menu item was reset. This
number reflects only the approximate
average electrical energy economy that the
vehicle has right now, and will change as
driving conditions change. The Average
Electrical Energy Economy can be reset
along with the trip odometer by pressing
and holding
Vwhile this display is active.
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.
Average Speed : Shows the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This average is

Vehicle Care 231
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tire balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tire wear
or the vehicle is significantly pulling to one
side or the other. Some slight pull to the
left or right, depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road surface variations
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
Do not use tire chains. There is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used on a
vehicle without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other vehicle parts.
The area damaged by the tire chains
could cause loss of control and a crash.
Use another type of traction device only
if its manufacturer recommends it for the
vehicle's tire size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle damage,
drive slow and readjust or remove the
