Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter Your vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette lighter. Notice: items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. Ashtray The ashtray is located under the climate control panel on the center console. Press on the door to release the ashtray. To empty the ashtray, remove it from the center console by gripping the edges and pulling straight out. To reinstall, push the tray back into place. There may also be ashtrays in the rear doors. Cigarette Lighter Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Do not use anything other than the cigarette lighter in the heating element. The cigarette lighter is located next to the ashtray. The vehicle does not have any cigarette lighters for the rear seat passengers. Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop back out by itself once the element has heated for use. 3-24 Climate Controls Dual Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and the temperature is set, the system will automatically control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode, the air conditioning compressor and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If you set the system at the warmest temperature setting, the system will remain in manual mode at that temperature and it will not go into automatic mode. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer air is available. The system will start out blowing air at the ﬂoor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up will depend on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven. 3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary. You can switch from English to metric units through the Driver Information Center (DIC). If you have the Base audio system, see DIC Main Menu on page 3-53. If you have the Navigation system, see “Setup Menu” in the Navigation System Manual. 3-25 The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section. Manual Operation yN z (Mode): Pressing the mode switch and changing the mode cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. The outboard air outlets will always receive airﬂow regardless of the mode selected. See Outlet Adjustment on page 3-30 to change this airﬂow from the outboard outlets. To change the current mode, select one of the following: Y (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. \ (Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs most of the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. Some air may be directed toward the windshield. In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. [ (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets with some air directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows), and a little air directed to the windshield. The mode switch can also be used to select the defog mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can be found later in this section. 3-26 y9z (Fan): Press this switch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. If the airﬂow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air ﬁlter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-32 and Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4. h (Recirculation): This mode keeps outside air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on or off. The air-conditioning compressor also comes on. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode and will automatically turn off after 10 minutes when defog is selected. Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry or stuffy. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. QPWRR (Power/Driver’s Temperature): Press the PWR button located on the driver’s side of the climate control panel to turn the entire climate control system on or off. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle. QPWRR (Power/Passenger’s Temperature): Press the PWR button located on the passenger’s side of the climate control panel to turn the passenger’s climate control system on. Press the up or down arrow on the switch to increase or decrease the temperature for the front passenger. A/C OFF (Air Conditioning): Press this button to manually turn off the air conditioning compressor. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation or press the A/C OFF button again. 3-27 Sensors There is also an interior temperature sensor located to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. There is a solar sensor located on the instrument panel, near the windshield. These sensors monitor the solar radiation and the air inside your vehicle, then use the information to maintain the selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the sensors or the automatic climate control system will not work properly. 3-28 Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. yN z (Mode): Press this button until defog appears on the display. - (Defog): This mode directs the air between the windshield, ﬂoor outlets and side windows. When you select this mode, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode is cancelled when you enter defog mode. If you select recirculation while in defog mode, it will be cancelled after 10 minutes. If you have fogging on the side windows, turn the thumbwheel on the outboard outlets to the side window defog position. See Outlet Adjustment on page 3-30 for more information. 0 (Defrost): Pressing defrost directs most of the air to the windshield, with some air directed to the side windows. In this mode, the system will automatically turn off recirculation and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while in the defrost mode. This mode may also cause the fan speed and air temperature to increase. If you have fogging on the side windows, turn the thumbwheel on the outboard outlets to the side window defog position. See Outlet Adjustment on page 3-30 for more information. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 3-29 Outlet Adjustment Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airﬂow. Use the thumbwheels to open or close the outlets. j (Side Window Defog): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to use the side window defog setting. The air coming through the outlets will be directed toward the side windows to clear fog. k (Open): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to open the outlets completely and allow the maximum amount of air to enter your vehicle. A small amount of air will still be directed to the side windows. l (Closed): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to close the outlets and minimize the amount of air entering the vehicle. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition is in ON. = (Rear Window Defogger): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes after the button is pressed. Or, if the vehicle’s speed is above 30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defogger will stay on continuously. If turned on again, the defogger will only run for about ﬁve minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defogger button is on. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window may damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear window with sharp objects. 3-30 Operation Tips (cid:127) Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the ﬂow of air into your vehicle. (cid:127) Use of non-GM approved hood deﬂectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. (cid:127) Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of your vehicle more effectively. If the airﬂow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air ﬁlter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-32. Rear Air Conditioning System If your vehicle has the rear air conditioning system it has two fan speed selectors. One fan speed selector is located in the front overhead console and the other is located in the headliner above the second row seats. The rear air conditioning system is designed to provide cooled air only. There is no heating provided with this system. Front Control Rear Control To operate the rear system using the front control, just turn the knob to the fan position you want. To use the rear control, ﬁrst turn the front control to the AUX position. Then, the rear control can be used to increase and decrease the airﬂow. 3-31 (cid:127) Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air ﬁlter traps most of the pollen from the air entering your vehicle. Like your vehicle’s engine air cleaner/ﬁlter, it needs to be changed periodically. For how often to change the passenger compartment air ﬁlter, see Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4. The passenger compartment air ﬁlter is located underneath the hood below the windshield wiper arm on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12 for more information on location. Use the procedure listed below to replace the passenger compartment air ﬁlter: 1. Open the hood to access the engine compartment. See Hood Release on page 5-11 for more information. Locate the passenger compartment air ﬁlter access panel door. 3-32 2. Push the two tabs on the access panel door towards the windshield. 3. While pressing forward, lift the access panel out of the clipped position and pull towards the front of the vehicle. This releases the clips and allows the panel door to be removed. 4. Remove the old ﬁlter and insert a new one. Make sure the arrow on the ﬁlter is pointing toward the passenger compartment. See Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 6-13 for the correct part number for the ﬁlter. 5. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 to reinstall the cover. Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on brieﬂy when you start the engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly – and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help. Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-48 for more information. 3-33 Instrument Panel Cluster The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You’ll know how fast you’re going, how much fuel you’re using and many of the other things you’ll need to know to drive safely and economically. United States version shown, Canada similar 3-34 Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). If your vehicle has to have a new odometer installed, the new one may read the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer has stored the mileage in memory. While the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is active, the odometer will change to show the gear range. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-25 for more information. Trip Odometers The trip odometer can record the number of miles or kilometers traveled for up to two trips. The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information Center (DIC). To access the trip odometer, use one of the following procedures: Using the Base audio system, do the following: 1. Press the INFO (Information) button located to the right of the screen to access the DIC menu. 2. Scroll through the menu using the up or down arrows on the INFO button until you reach Trip Odometer A or Trip Odometer B. The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be displayed at the top of the screen with the accumulated mileage. 3. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer. You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing CLR (Clear) button located in the center of the INFO button to the right of the screen. The mileage for that trip odometer will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset individually. Using the Navigation audio system, do the following: 1. Press and hold the vehicle information button in the upper right corner of the screen for three seconds to access the Vehicle Information menu. 2. Use the up and down arrows on the screen to bring TRIP A or TRIP B into view. Then press the button next to the trip you wish to be viewed. The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be displayed at the top of the screen with the accumulated mileage. 3. Press the RETURN button to return to the previous page. 4. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer. You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing RESET button on the Vehicle Information menu. The mileage for the selected trip odometer will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset individually. 3-35 Tachometer This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to ON or START, a chime will be provided for several seconds to remind people to buckle their safety belts. The driver safety belt light will also be provided and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. You should buckle your seat belt. This chime and light will be repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light will be provided. If you operate the engine with the Notice: tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle could be damaged, and the damages would not be covered by your warranty. Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the shaded warning area. Engine Speed Limiter This feature prevents the engine from operating at too many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine’s rpms are too high, the throttle is closed to reduce speed. If this is not sufficient, then the fuel supply to the engine will be limited. When the rpms return to normal, the fuel supply will return to normal. This helps prevent damage to the engine. 3-36 Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensors, the airbag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-47. This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will ﬂash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags in your vehicle may not inﬂate in a crash, or they could even inﬂate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. The airbag readiness light should ﬂash for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If there is a problem with the airbag system in your vehicle, the Service airbag message will appear on the DIC display. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57 for more information. 3-37 Charging System Light When you turn the key to ON or START, this light will come on brieﬂy to show that the generator and battery charging systems are working properly. Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you need both parts working well. If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. If this light stays on, your vehicle needs service. You should take your vehicle to the dealer at once. To save your battery until you get there, turn off all accessories. United States Canada This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition key to ON. If it doesn’t come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem. 3-38 When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will also come on when you set your parking brake. The light will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you have a brake problem. If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push, or the pedal may go closer to the ﬂoor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-50. {CAUTION: Your brake system may not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to an accident. If the light is still on after you have pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have the vehicle towed for service. Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light With the anti-lock brake system, the light will come on when your engine is started and may stay on for several seconds. That’s normal. If the ABS warning light comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the anti-lock portion of the brake system. If the red BRAKE light is not on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-38. If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. If the light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again while you’re driving, your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-38. 3-39 Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light (CTS) If the TC (traction control) warning light comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the traction control system. This light tells you that your engine is very hot. The TC (traction control) warning light will come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition to ON. If it doesn’t come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. The light will also come on if you turn the traction control system off using the TC (traction control) on/off button located near the shift lever. If the TC (traction control) warning light stays on or comes on while you are driving, pull off the road as soon as possible and stop carefully. Try resetting the system by turning the ignition off then back on. If the light still stays on or comes back on again while you are driving, your vehicle needs service. Have the traction control system inspected as soon as possible. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9 for more information. 3-40 This light will come on when you ﬁrst start the vehicle as a check to let you know that the light is working. It will go out after a few seconds. If the light does not come on, the bulb may be burned out. See your dealer for assistance in changing the bulb. If the light does not go out or if the light comes on and stays on while you are driving, your vehicle may have a problem with the cooling system. You should stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible to avoid damage to the engine. A warning chime will sound when this light is on, also. See Engine Overheating on page 5-27. Engine Coolant Temperature Gage Tire Pressure Light This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, the engine is too hot. If your vehicle has the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System, this light will come on if the system detects low tire pressure. That reading means the same thing as the warning light – the engine coolant is very hot. See Engine Overheating on page 5-27. This light will also come on for a bulb check when the vehicle is started. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-61 for more information. For more information on the proper tire pressure, see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-45. For more information on your tires, see Tires on page 5-52. 3-41 If you keep driving your vehicle with this Notice: light on, after awhile, your emission controls may not work as well, your fuel economy may not be as good, and your engine may not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that may not be covered by your warranty. Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of your vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect your vehicle’s emission controls and may cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty. This may also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light Your vehicle is equipped with a computer which monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. This system is called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics- Second Generation) and is intended to assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. The check engine light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. 3-42 This light should come on, as a check to show you it is working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not running. If the light does not come on, have it repaired. This light will also come on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing — A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and may damage the emission control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may be required. Light On Steady — An emission control system malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. Diagnosis and service may be required. If the Light is Flashing The following may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle: (cid:127) Reducing vehicle speed (cid:127) Avoiding hard accelerations (cid:127) Avoiding steep uphill grades If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible If the light stops ﬂashing and remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park your vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine. If the light remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady” following. If the light is still ﬂashing, follow the previous steps, and see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the Light Is On Steady You may be able to correct the emission system malfunction by considering the following: Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle? If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install the cap. See Filling Your Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. 3-43 (cid:127) (cid:127) (cid:127) Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water? If so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition will usually be corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. Have you recently changed brands of fuel? If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. Poor fuel quality will cause your engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you put the vehicle into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. (These conditions may go away once the engine is warmed up.) This will be detected by the system and cause the light to turn on. If you experience one or more of these conditions, change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. If none of the above steps have made the light turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that may have developed. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or may begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent you from getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things you need to know to help your vehicle pass an inspection: Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on or not working properly. Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if you have recently replaced your battery or if your battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This may take several days of routine driving. If you have done this and your vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD system readiness, your GM dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 3-44 Oil Pressure Light {CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If you do, your engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. You or others could be burned. Check your oil as soon as possible and have your vehicle serviced. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance may damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. This light tells you if there could be a problem with your engine oil pressure. The light goes on when you turn your key to ON or START. It goes off once you start your engine. That’s a check to be sure the light works. If it doesn’t come on, be sure to have it ﬁxed so it will be there to warn you if something goes wrong. When the light comes on and stays on, it means that oil isn’t ﬂowing through your engine properly. You could be low on oil and you might have some other system problem. Sport Mode Light This light will come on while the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is in use. When you stop using the DSC feature, the light will go out. If it stays on, your vehicle may need service. See your dealer. See “Driver Shift Control (DSC)” under Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-25 for more information. 3-45 Security Light Lights On Reminder For information regarding this light, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-17. The fog lamps light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. Fog Lamp Light The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 3-18 for more information. This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. See Headlamps on Reminder on page 3-16 for more information. Cruise Control Light This light comes on whenever you set your cruise control. The light will go out when the cruise control is turned off. See Cruise Control on page 3-12 for more information. 3-46 Highbeam On Light This light comes on whenever the high-beam headlamps are on. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-9 for more information. Fuel Gage The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the tank. It works only when the ignition is in ON. If the fuel supply gets low, the Fuel Level Low message will appear on the 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:127) 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. 3-47 (cid:127) (cid:127) System Controls Driver Information Center (DIC) The DIC gives you the status of many of your vehicle’s systems. It is also used to display driver personalization features and warning/status messages. If your vehicle has the base audio system, use the information contained in this manual for instructions on operating the DIC for your vehicle.
