(cid:129) Use of non-GM approved hood deﬂectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. (cid:129) Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more effectively. If the airﬂow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air ﬁlter might need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-28. (cid:129) Set the climate control system to AUTO fan and mode and then adjust the temperature setting up or down a few degrees for best comfort. 3-26 (cid:129) Rear Air Conditioning System For vehicles with 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. To use the rear control, turn the front control to AUX, then use the rear control to increase and decrease the airﬂow. To operate the rear system using the front control, turn the knob to the fan position desired. Rear Control Front Control 3-27 Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air ﬁlter helps remove dust and pollen from the air entering the vehicle. Like the 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. 2. Push the two tabs on the access panel door towards the windshield. 3-28 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 Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 6-15 for the correct part number for the ﬁlter. 5. Reverse Steps 1 through 3 to reinstall the cover. Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators 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 the warning lights and gages could prevent injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle’s functions. Some warning lights come on brieﬂy when the engine is started to indicate they are working. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of the vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to indicate a problem with the vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on while driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that explains what to do. Follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly and even dangerous. 3-29 Instrument Panel Cluster The instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, how much fuel you are using and many of the other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. United States version shown, Canada similar 3-30 Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). See “SPEEDOMETER” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-46 for more information. The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Your vehicle’s odometer works together with the driver information center. You can set a Trip A and a Trip B odometer. See “Trip Fuel” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 3-46 for more information. If your vehicle ever needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Tachometer This gage indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Engine Speed Limiter This feature prevents the engine speed from reaching an unsafe level. If the level is too high, the throttle closes or limits the fuel supply until the engine speed returns to a safe level. Throttle operation and fuel supply returns to normal when engine speed is lowered. Safety Belt Reminders Driver Safety Belt Reminder Light When the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind the driver to fasten the safety belt, unless the driver’s safety belt is already buckled. The driver safety belt light comes on and stays on for several seconds, then ﬂashes for several more. This chime and light are repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s safety belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. 3-31 Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light Several seconds after the engine is started, a chime sounds for several seconds to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt. This only occurs if the passenger airbag is enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-65 for more information. The passenger safety belt light, located on the instrument panel, comes on and stays on for several seconds and then ﬂashes for several more. Airbag Readiness Light The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for possible malfunctions. If the light stays on it indicates there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the pretensioners, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 1-56. This chime and light are repeated if the passenger remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. The airbag readiness light ﬂashes for a few seconds when the engine is started. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed immediately. If the passenger safety belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light comes on. 3-32 { CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes on while driving, it means the airbag system might not be working properly. The airbags in the vehicle might not inﬂate in a crash, or they could even inﬂate without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the vehicle serviced right away. If there is a problem with the airbag system, an airbag Driver Information Center (DIC) message can also come on. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-51 for more information. Passenger Airbag Status Indicator Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system. Your instrument panel has a passenger airbag status indicator. United States Canada When you start the vehicle, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. If you use remote start to start your vehicle from a distance, if equipped, you may not see the system check. Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you know the status of the right front passenger’s frontal airbag. 3-33 If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger’s frontal airbag is enabled (may inﬂate). { CAUTION: { CAUTION: If the on indicator comes on when you have a rear-facing child restraint installed in the right front passenger’s seat, it means that the passenger sensing system has not turned off the passenger’s frontal airbag. A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger’s airbag inﬂates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inﬂating airbag. Do not use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat if the airbag is turned on. Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though it is turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child restraints be secured in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag. See Passenger Sensing System on page 1-65 for more on this, including important safety information. 3-34 If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing system. See your dealer/retailer for service. { CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light in the instrument panel cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced promptly, because an adult-size person sitting in the right front passenger’s seat may not have the protection of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-32 for more on this, including important safety information. Charging System Light This light comes on brieﬂy when the ignition key is turned to START, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. The light should go out once the engine starts. If it stays on, or comes on while driving, there could be a problem with the charging system. A charging system message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) can also appear. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-51 for more information. This light could indicate that there are problems with a generator drive belt, or that there is an electrical problem. Have it checked right away. If the vehicle must be driven a short distance with the light on, turn off accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. 3-35 Brake System Warning Light Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part is not 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. United States Canada This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition to ON/RUN. If it does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. 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 does not 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 4-36. { CAUTION: The brake system might not be working properly if the brake system warning light is on. Driving with the brake system warning light on can lead to a crash. If the light is still on after the vehicle has been pulled off the road and carefully stopped, have the vehicle towed for service. 3-36 Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light For vehicles with the Antilock Brake System (ABS), this light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started. The traction control system warning light comes on brieﬂy while starting the engine. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator light then goes off. If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off. If the light comes on while driving, stop as soon as it is safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light stays on, or comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system warning light is not on, the vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, the vehicle does not have antilock brakes and there is a problem with the regular brakes. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-36. For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-51 for all brake related DIC messages. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator light then goes off. This light comes on when your traction control system is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, the vehicle needs service. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 for more information. 3-37 Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light This light comes on brieﬂy while starting the vehicle. Engine Coolant Temperature Gage This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. It indicates when the engine has warmed up and if the cooling system is operating properly. If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, the engine coolant is too hot and the engine coolant temperature warning light comes on. See Engine Overheating on page 5-29 for more information. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by the dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator light goes off. Notice: Driving with the engine coolant temperature warning light on could cause the vehicle to overheat. See Engine Overheating on page 5-29. The vehicle’s engine could be damaged, and it might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Never drive with the engine coolant temperature warning light on. The engine coolant temperature warning light comes on when the engine has overheated. If this happens pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 5-29 for more information. 3-38 Tire Pressure Light This light comes on brieﬂy when the engine is started. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator light then goes off. This light also comes on when one or more of the tires is signiﬁcantly underinﬂated. A tire pressure message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) can accompany the light. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-51 for more information. Stop and check the tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If underinﬂated, inﬂate the tire to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 5-48 for more information. If a problem is detected with the Tire Pressure Monitor System, this light ﬂashes for approximately 60 seconds and then stays on for the remainder of the ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 5-59 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It ensures that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment. This light should come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the check engine light comes on and stays on, while the engine is running, this indicates that there is an OBD II problem and service is required. 3-39 Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. Being aware of the light can prevent more serious damage to the vehicle. This system assists the service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: If the vehicle is continually driven with this light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, the vehicle’s fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Notice: Modiﬁcations made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of the vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect the vehicle’s emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modiﬁcations to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 5-3. This light comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing: A misﬁre condition has been detected. A misﬁre increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. To prevent more serious damage to the vehicle: (cid:129) Reduce vehicle speed. (cid:129) Avoid hard accelerations. (cid:129) Avoid steep uphill grades. If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible. If the light continues to ﬂash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light is still ﬂashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. 3-40 (cid:129) Light On Steady: An emission control system malfunction has been detected on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. An emission system malfunction might be corrected by doing the following: (cid:129) Make sure the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling the 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 allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off. If the vehicle has been driven through a deep puddle of water, the vehicle’s electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. (cid:129) Make sure to fuel the vehicle with quality fuel. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and can cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misﬁring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Gasoline Octane on page 5-5. If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. The dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to ﬁx any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. 3-41 (cid:129) Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things to know to help the vehicle pass an inspection: The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on with the engine running, or if the key is in ON/RUN and the light is not on. The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD II (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 the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 3-42 Oil Pressure Light For vehicles with an oil pressure light, if there is a problem with the oil, the light may stay on after the engine is started, or comes on while driving. This light indicates that oil is not going through the engine quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could be low on oil or could have some other oil problem. Have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. The oil light could also come on in the following situations: The light comes on brieﬂy when the ignition is turned on to show that it is working properly. If it does not come on with the ignition on, there may be a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. (cid:129) Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, a chime sounds and the light may blink on and off. This is normal. (cid:129) (cid:129) (cid:129) { CAUTION: Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The engine can become so hot that it catches ﬁre. Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon as possible and have the vehicle serviced. Fog Lamp Light The fog lamp light comes on when the fog lamps are in use. Notice: Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the maintenance schedule in this manual for changing engine oil. The light goes out when the fog lamps are turned off. See Fog Lamps on page 3-17 for more information. Lights On Reminder Security Light For information regarding this light and the vehicle’s security system, see Theft-Deterrent System on page 2-19. This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on. See Headlamps on Reminder on page 3-16 for more information. 3-43 Cruise Control Light Tow/Haul Mode Light The cruise control light comes on whenever the cruise control is set. This light comes on when the Tow/Haul mode has been activated. The light goes out when the cruise control is turned off. See Cruise Control on page 3-12 for more information. Highbeam On Light This light comes on when the high-beam headlamps are in use. For more information, see Tow/Haul Mode on page 2-31. Fuel Gage The fuel gage shows approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank. It works only when the engine is on. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8 for more information. 3-44 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 3-51 for more information. All of the following 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. 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 will appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle system information and the warning/status messages. The bottom line of the DIC display shows the odometer on the left side, the outside air temperature on the right side, and the shift position indicator in the center. For more information on the shift position indicator, see Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-27. When the sport mode is active, an S will appear next to the shift position indicator on the center of the DIC display. When the manual mode is active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When the normal mode is active, only the shift position indicator will appear. 3-45 (cid:129) (cid:129) While the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is active, the DIC will change to show the selected gear. See “Driver Shift Control (DSC)” under Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-27 for more information. If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear on the display. Be sure to take any message that appears on the display seriously and remember that clearing the message will only make the message disappear, not correct the problem. DIC Operation and Displays The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different displays which can be accessed by pressing the DIC buttons located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. 3 Trip/Fuel: Press this button to scroll through the trip and fuel displays.

V Set/Reset: Press this button to reset certain DIC features and to acknowledge DIC warning messages and clear them from the DIC display. y z Menu Up/Down: Press this button to scroll up and down the menu items. 3-46 Trip/Fuel Display Menu Items 3 (Trip/Fuel): The following display menu items can be displayed by pressing the trip/fuel button: 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 will change 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 will show FUEL RANGE LOW. If the vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-51 for more information. AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE) 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, press the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE) This display shows the current fuel economy in either miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number reﬂects only the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and will change frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average economy, this display cannot be reset. 3-47 FUEL USED This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this display.
