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. 3-42 {CAUTION: Don’t 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: Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be costly and is not covered by your warranty. Oil Pressure Light If you have a problem with your oil pressure, this light may stay on after you start the engine, or it may come on while you are driving. This indicates that oil is not going through your engine quickly enough to keep it lubricated. The engine could be low on oil or could have some other oil problem. Have it ﬁxed right away. The oil light could also come on in two other situations: • When the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the light will come on as a test to show you it’s working. The light will go out when you turn the ignition to RUN. If it doesn’t come on with the ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or bulb. See FusesandCircuitBreakersonpage5-99. • If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a moment. This is normal. 3-43 Fog Lamp Light Fuel Gage This light will come on when the fog lamps are in use. The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the ignition is on. The light will go out when the fog lamps are turned off. See “Fog Lamps” under ExteriorLampsonpage3-12 for more information. High-Beam On Light This light comes on whenever the high-beam headlamps are on. When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Here are four things owners usually ask about the fuel gage. All these situations are normal and do not indicate a problem with the fuel gage: • At the gas station the pump shuts off before the gage reads full. See “Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer” under ExteriorLampsonpage3-12 for additional information. 3-44 • It takes more or less fuel to ﬁll up than the gage indicates. For example, the gage reads half full, but it took more or less than half the tank’s capacity to ﬁll it. • The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. • The gage may not indicate full when the ignition is turned off. Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you important safety and maintenance facts. When you turn the ignition on, all of the DIC lights illuminate for a few seconds and the phrase WIDETRACK GP will appear. After this, the DIC will begin working. DIC Controls and Displays Base Level DIC The Driver Information Center (DIC) control buttons and the message display screen are located above the radio. The DIC gives you important safety and maintenance facts concerning the vehicle.
