Fuel Information Button
Use the fuel information button to scroll through the
range, average fuel economy, instant fuel economy and
the GM Oil Life System .
Fuel Range
Press the fuel information button until RANGE appears
to display the remaining distance you can drive without
refueling. It’s based on fuel economy and the fuel
remaining in the tank. The display will show LOW if the
fuel level is low.
The fuel economy data used to determine fuel range is
an average of recent driving conditions. As your driving
conditions change, this data is gradually updated.
Fuel range cannot be reset.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the fuel information button until AVG ECON appears
in the display. Average fuel economy is how many miles
per gallon your vehicle is getting based on current and
past driving conditions.
Press and hold the select button for two seconds while
AVG ECON is displayed to reset the average fuel economy.
Average fuel economy will then be calculated starting from
that point. If the average fuel economy is not reset, it will be
continually updated each time you drive.
Instant Fuel Economy
Press the fuel information button until INST ECON
appears in the display. Instant fuel economy is how many
miles per gallon your vehicle is at the particular moment
in time. The instant fuel economy cannot be reset.
GM Oil Life System
Press the fuel information button until ENGINE OIL
LIFE appears in the display. The GM Oil Life System
shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life.
It will show 100% when the system is reset after an
oil change. It will alert you to change your oil on a
schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
Always reset the engine oil life after an oil change.
To reset the Oil Life System press and hold the select
button for five seconds while ENGINE OIL LIFE is
displayed. OIL LIFE RESET will appear on the display
for 10 seconds to let you know the system is reset.
The DIC does not replace the need to maintain your
vehicle as recommended in the Maintenance Schedule
in this manual. Also, the oil change reminder will not
detect dusty conditions or engine malfunctions that
may affect the oil. Also, the oil change reminder does
not measure how much oil you have in your engine.
So, be sure to check your oil level often. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
