Here are four things some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
• At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
• It takes a little more (or less) fuel to fill up
than the gage reads. For example, the
gage read half full, but it took more (or less)
than half of the tank’s capacity to fill it.
• The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
• The gage may not indicate empty when the
ignition is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly
when you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on
fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display
located in the instrument panel cluster, below the
tachometer. The DIC buttons are located on
the center of the instrument panel, below the
center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display WELCOME
DRIVER (1 or 2) if a personalized key 1 or 2 is
used, and then the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off. The
driver number also corresponds to the numbers,
1 or 2, on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitters.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers,
fuel economy, trip computer, vehicle system
information, and compass display, if equipped.
It also displays warning messages if a system
problem is detected. In addition, the DIC displays
phone numbers that are called using the
OnStar
®
system, if equipped. See OnStar
®
System on page 154.
