for more information. Fuel Gage


The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. It works only when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.


An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. If the fuel supply gets low, the Fuel Level Low message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a single chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more information. Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All of these situations are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage: (cid:129) At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before


the gage reads full. The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly or accelerate quickly. It takes a little more or less fuel to fill the tank than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated that the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.

(cid:129) (cid:129) Boost Gage


United States


Canada


For the CTS-V, this gage is located in the instrument panel cluster. This gage indicates positive manifold pressure which is the induction air pressure level in the intake manifold before it enters the combustion chamber. This gage reads zero under light throttle before boost is generated. This gage automatically resets to zero every time the engine is started.


Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display warning/status messages. All messages appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC displays the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The top line of the DIC display shows the DIC information. The bottom line of the DIC display shows the compass. The compass displays in the trip/fuel menus and in some vehicle information menus. If a problem is detected, a warning message appears on the display. Take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message only makes the message disappear, and does not correct the problem.

3 (Trip/Fuel): The following display menu items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel button: Odometer This display shows the distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Trip A or Trip B These displays show the current distance traveled since the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Both odometers can be used at the same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by pressing and holding the set/reset button for a few seconds while the desired trip odometer is displayed.


Fuel Range This display shows the approximate number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive without refilling the fuel tank. This estimate is based on the current driving conditions and changes if the driving conditions change. For example, if you are driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may change even though you still have the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Once the range drops below about 30 miles (48 km) remaining, the display shows Low Range. If the vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low message displays. See “Fuel Level Low” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more information. AVG (Average) Economy This display shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this display was reset. To reset this display to zero, press the set/reset button.

Procedure” following.


3-55


Compass Calibration The compass can be manually calibrated. Only calibrate the compass in a magnetically clean and safe location, such as an open parking lot, where driving the vehicle in circles is not a danger. It is suggested to calibrate away from tall buildings, utility wires, manhole covers, or other industrial structures, if possible. If CAL appears in the DIC display, the compass should be calibrated. If the DIC display does not show a heading, for example, N for North, or the heading does not change after making turns, there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder, or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle, move the magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle and calibrate the compass.


To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure: Compass Calibration Procedure 1. Before calibrating the compass, check that the


compass is set to the correct variance zone. See “Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure” earlier in this section. Do not operate any switches such as window, sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc. during the calibration procedure.

Care of Your CD and DVD-A Discs If playing a CD or DVD-A disc, the sound quality can be reduced due to disc quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the disc has been handled. Handle them carefully. Store disc(s) in their original cases or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD/DVD-A player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a disc is damaged, such as cracked, broken, or scratched, the disc may not play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a disc while handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge. If the surface of a disc is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.

If a label is added to a CD, or more than


Care of Your CD or DVD-A Player Do not add any label to a disc, it could get caught in the CD/DVD-A player. If a disc is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, label the top of the recorded disc with a marking pen. The use of disc lens cleaners for discs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the disc optics with lubricants internal to the CD/DVD-A player mechanism. Notice: one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris. If an error displays, see “Disc Messages” later in this section. Playing an MP3/WMA Disc Radios with the MP3 feature are capable of playing an MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW disc. Radios with the DVD Audio feature, are capable of playing MP3/WMA on DVD+/-R discs. For more information, see Using an MP3 on page 3-104 later in this section.

Ejecting a CD or Turning Off The Vehicle While Recording If the CD is ejected or the vehicle is turned off before the recording process has completed, tracks that have been completely recorded are stored to the HDD. Incomplete tracks are discarded. Re-recording Audio CDs If a CD has already been recorded, the radio system will not record the contents again. If a partially recorded CD is selected for recording, only those songs which are not already on the HDD will be recorded.


Audio CD Song, Artist, Album and Genre Information Radios with HDD, contain a Gracenote® Database that the radio uses to determine the song, artist, album and genre information. The Gracenote® Database allows the radio to record an audio CD to the HDD and store the content using song, artist, album and genre information. Newly released audio CDs as well as some less common audio CDs may not be found in the Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD. If these audio CDs contain CD-text, the radio will use the CD-text information when recording the content to the HDD. If an audio CD is not found in the Gracenote® Database and it does not have CD-text information, the radio will record the audio CD with all song, artist, album and genre names as “NO INFO”. Songs recorded with “NO INFO” to the HDD will be hard to sort, identify, and select. For better HDD navigation, CDs with “NO INFO” can first be converted to MP3 format with Tag information on a home computer and then recorded to the HDD from an MP3 disc or USB device. Occasionally, the radio may find more than one match in Gracenote® Database for an audio CD that has been recorded. If this happens, the radio will display “MultiHit” for the name information when the songs are selected


from the HDD. With a “MuliHit” song playing, press the button below the EDIT label to bring up the list of multiple names found in the Gracenote® Database. Use the Menu/Select knob to highlight and select the correct name for the “MultiHit” recorded CD. The Gracenote® Database stored on the HDD can be updated so that it includes name information for more recently released audio CDs. See your dealer/retailer for more information on Gracenote® Database updates for the HDD radio.
