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.

is highlighted. A checkmark will be displayed
next to the selected item.
Speed Warning :The speed warning display
allows the driver to set a speed that they
do not want to exceed. To set the speed
warning, press the thumbwheel when Speed
Warning is displayed. Move the thumbwheel
up or down to adjust the value. Press the
thumbwheel to set the speed. Once set, this
feature can be turned off by pressing the
thumbwheel while viewing this page. If the
selected speed limit is exceeded, a pop-up
warning is displayed and a chime may
sound.

tutorials for the Modern and Enhanced
layout.
Open Source Software : Press the
thumbwheel while Open Source Software is
highlighted to display open source software
information.
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle's speed
in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or
miles per hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has
been driven, in either kilometers or miles.
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).
See Driver Information Center (DIC) 099.
Battery Gauge (High Voltage)
Enhanced Battery Gauge Shown This displays the high voltage battery state
of charge and the vehicle range prediction.
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.
The range estimate and Max and Min
numbers may be affected by climate
settings, current vehicle conditions, and
ambient conditions. Estimated range may
increase and decrease based on 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.

Trip and Average Electrical Energy
Economy : The Trip display shows the
current distance traveled, in either
kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since the trip
odometer was last reset. The trip odometer
can be reset by pressing and holding the
thumbwheel while this display is active. The Average Electrical Energy Economy
display shows the approximate average
kilometers per kWh (km/kWh) or miles per
kWh(mi/kWh). This number is calculated
based on the number of km/kWh 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 the
thumbwheel while this display is active.
Average Speed :
Shows the average speed
of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h)
or miles per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this
value. The average speed can be reset by
pressing and holding the thumbwheel while
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.

Vehicle Care 253
Temperature
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel. Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet
under the Federal Motor Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law. Warning:
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup
and possible tire failure.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.
