Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Lamp)
Located In the instrument panel, this
lamp illuminates under a variety of con-
ditions 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 present and securely fastened.
Turn it clockwise until a “ratcheting”
sound is heard, signaling that it is
secure. If this is the cause of the condi-
tion, a few driving trips with the cap
installed properly should turn the light
off.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The DIC features a message center that
can display trip information, fuel econo-
my information, personalization features
and other messages or warnings. The
DIC display is located above the steer-
ing wheel on the instrument cluster, and
can be programmed in six languages. To
access the various DIC modes, press
one of the following DIC buttons located
on the steering wheel:
A. Trip Information Button: Press this
button 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.
B. Fuel Information Button: Press this
button to access each of the range,
average fuel economy, instant fuel econ-
omy and GM Oil Life System™.
RANGE estimates the remaining dis-
tance you can drive without refueling.
It is based on recent fuel economy and
remaining fuel.
AVG. ECON calculates how many miles
per gallon you are getting based on
overall driving conditions over the previ-
ous 500 miles. Press and hold the
Select button while it is displayed and
the DIC will begin calculating average
fuel economy from that point in time.
INST. ECON calculates miles per gallon
being returned at a particular moment.
ENGINE OIL LIFE shows the estimated
percentage of the oil’s remaining useful
life calculated by the GM Oil Life
System™. This feature alerts you when
it’s time to change the oil by illuminating
the CHANGE ENG. OIL light on the
instrument panel. Please remember to
always reset the oil life system after an
oil change by pressing and holding the
Select/Reset button for four seconds
while ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed.
When successful, the DIC displays
ENGINE OIL LIFE: 100%.
With the GM Oil Life System™, your
vehicle may achieve 15,000-mile oil
change intervals under ideal conditions.
