Note : The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know about many important aspects of your vehicle’s operation. It is important to read your Owner Manual and become familiar with the information being relayed to you by the lights, gauges and indicators, as well as what action can be taken to ensure safety and prevent damage.

Driver Information Center (DIC)

The Driver Information Center (DIC) features a message center that can display trip information, fuel economy informa-tion, personalization features and other messages or warnings. The DIC display is located above the steering wheel on the instrument cluster and can be programmed in three languages. To access the various DIC modes, press one of the four DIC buttons located on the steering wheel: Trip Information, Fuel Information, Personalization or Select.

Trip Information Button:

Press to access each of the odometer, Trip A, Trip B and Timer functions. To reset either trip odometer to zero, access it on the DIC and press the Select button ( ) for one second, or press and hold the reset stem on the instrument cluster. Use the TIMER function to time the length of your trip, pressing to start or stop the timer when the function is displayed on the DIC. To reset it to zero, press and hold when the function is displayed on the DIC.

Fuel Information Button :

Press to access the range, average fuel economy, fuel used and the GM Oil Life SystemTM status.

RANGE estimates the remaining distance you can drive without refuelling. It is based on recent fuel economy and remaining fuel.
AVG ECON calculates how many miles per gallon you are getting based on current and past driving conditions. Press and hold the reset stem while it is displayed and the DIC will begin calculating average fuel economy from that point in time.
FUEL USED shows the current amount of fuel used in gallons since the last reset for FUEL USED. This mode should be reset after every fuel tank fill-up.
ENGINE OIL LIFE calculates an estimated percentage of the engine oil’s remaining useful life and alerts the driver when it’s time to change the oil by illuminating the CHANGE ENG OIL light on the DIC. Please remember to always reset the oil life system after an oil change by pressing and holding for four seconds while ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed. When successful, the DIC displays ENGINE OIL LIFE: 100%.
For full engine oil information, see Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

SAFETY & SECURITY

Programmable Automatic Power Door Locks

Your vehicle includes an automatic door lock/unlock feature with a choice of four modes, as well as automatic door lock-out protection to prevent locking the keys in the vehicle. In the event, the power door lock switch is activated when a door is open and the key is in the ignition, the driver door will unlock.
Locking Options: The default setting for the programmable automatic power door locks is to lock automatically when the transmission is shifted into gear
(Mode 1).
Other locking options include:

• Mode 2: All doors lock when the vehicle speed is over 8 mph (13 km/h) Unlocking options: Choose one of the following options before customizing your unlocking preference:
• Mode 1: The driver door unlocks when the transmission is placed into the Park
• Mode 2: All doors unlock when the transmission is shifted into Park
• Mode 3: All doors unlock when the key is removed from the ignition
• Mode 4: No automatic door unlock There are two methods for customizing your vehicle locking/unlocking preferences. One method is to press the personalisation button ( ) on the Driver Information Center until AUTOMATIC LOCKING (or AUTOMATIC UNLOCK-ING) appears on the display. Press the Select button until the desired setting appears on the display and press to select it.

For an alternate method of setting lock-ing/unlocking preferences, see the Programmable Locking Feature section of your Owner Manual. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Remote Keyless Entry System

The RKE system locks and unlocks the doors and lift glass from a range of 3 to 30 feet (1–9 m). At times the range may be shorter than usual, which is normal. If the transmitter doesn’t seem to be working properly:

• Ensure that you are within the transmitter range of the vehicle. Rainy and snowy weather can reduce transmitter range.
• Check to see whether other vehicles or obstacles are blocking the transmitter signal by stepping a few feet to the left or right, and holding the transmitter higher when pressing the button(s).
• Consider the length of time that the transmitter battery has been in service and replace it if necessary (the DIC will display RFA # BAT LOW if the battery needs replacing). Use CR 2032 battery or equivalent. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Remote Lock/Unlock Feedback

Program the Remote Keyless Entry System’s lock/unlock feedback (horn, parking lamps, both or neither) by pressing the Customization button ( ) on the Driver Information Center until REMOTE LOCK FEEDBACK (or UNLOCK FEED-BACK, as desired) appears on the display. Press the Select button ( ) to scroll through the menu of choices. To program the lock/unlock feedback feature, press when the desired menu option is displayed. See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Content Theft-Deterrent System

The Content Theft-Deterrent System has a Security light on the instrument panel cluster. The system can be activated in two ways:

• Press the Lock button on the Remote Keyless Entry key fob after closing all doors.
• Press the power door lock switch with the door open.

The alarm is not armed until the Security light turns off (after a delay of approximately 30 seconds). If the alarm is tripped, the horn sounds for 30 seconds, and the headlamps and parking lamps also flash for two minutes to get visual attention. The alarm sounds whenever a locked door is opened without the key or Remote Keyless Entry transmitter. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Passenger Air Bag Status Indicator

Your vehicle is equipped with a Passenger Sensing System located in the front passenger seat for the front passenger frontal air bag, and a passenger air bag status indicator located on the rearview mirror.

Note : It is recommended that children not be placed in the front passenger seat, even with the Passenger Sensing System. All children should be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.

See Sections 1 and 3 of your Owner Manual.

PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Service Engine Soon Lamp)

Located on the instrument panel cluster, this lamp illuminates under a variety of conditions when the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II) system detects a malfunction in the vehicle’s emission controls. If it is lit steadily, check the gas cap to ensure that it is attached and securely fastened. Turn the gas cap clockwise until a ratcheting sound is heard, signalling that it is secure. If this is the cause of the condition, and the cap is installed properly, this should turn the light off. See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Electronically Controlled Rear Air Suspension

This feature automatically keeps your vehicle level when loaded or unloaded. The system may make an occasional whirring sound under the rear of the vehicle under heavier rear loads, indicating that the system’s air compressor is operating to provide a level ride height. When unloading, you may also hear air being released from the system. An inflator outlet and hose are included with the system for inflating tyres, toys and sports equipment. The compressor automatically shuts down if it overheats, and resumes operation when it cools. See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

All-Wheel Drive

For extra traction, vehicles equipped with an on-demand all-wheel drive system will automatically transfer power from the rear wheels to the front wheels when low-traction conditions are detected. On dry roads with good traction, the system operates in two-wheel drive. You may feel the system operating when engine power is transferred to all four wheels. See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

StabiliTrak® – Stability Control System

StabiliTrak combines antilock brake, traction control, and stability control systems that help the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions. The system is designed to help keep the vehicle on the driver’s intended path by using throttle and brake intervention. When activated, the system will apply braking to individual wheels and may reduce engine power as necessary to help you maintain directional control of the vehicle. You may also hear a noise or vibration, or feel a reduction in acceleration, while the system is active. This is normal. StabiliTrak is automatically turned on when the vehicle is started and does not require any driver input. It is recom-mended to leave the system on at all times for normal driving. It may be necessary to turn off the traction control portion of the system if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or snow. To turn off the traction control portion of StabiliTrak, press and release the (StabiliTrak) button located on the transmission shift handle. TRACTION CONTROL OFF will be displayed on the DIC. Press the button again to turn the system back on. To turn off StabiliTrak, press and hold the (StabiliTrak) button for five seconds. StabiliTrak OFF will be displayed on the DIC. Press the button again to turn the system back on. See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating the (low tire pressure) warning light on the instrument panel. The low tyre pressure warning light will remain on until you correct the tyre pressure. You may also have a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message appear on the DIC (if equipped).

Correcting the Tire Pressure

When the low tyre pressure warning light illuminates, you must fill the tyre to the proper tyre inflation pressure. The Tire and Loading Information label show the correct inflation pressure for the tires when they’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours or driven no more than one mile. You can temporarily remove the DIC message by acknowledging it with your DIC controls. However, at the next vehicle startup, the DIC message will reappear if the tyre pressure has not been corrected.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tyre pressure warning light will appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn off as you start to drive the vehicle. This could be an early indicator that your tyre pressures are getting low and need to be inflated to the proper pressure.

Note: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System can alert you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t replace normal monthly tire maintenance.See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Hood Release

To open your vehicle’s hood:

1. Pull the handle located on the lower driver’s side of the instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle and release the hood latch.
3. Lift the hood.
4. Release the hood prop from its retainer and place it into the hood slot.

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
