temperature inside your vehicle. Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airﬂow inside of your vehicle. To change the current mode, select one of the following: @ MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): Turn the right knob to this position for maximum air conditioning. This will select air conditioning and recirculation for maximum cooling of your vehicle. 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 help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. This mode will automatically be selected when maximum air conditioning is selected. H (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. 209 ) (Bi-Level): This mode directs half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, then directs the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets. Use this mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the front seats free of objects that could obstruct airﬂow to the rear of the vehicle. Outside Air: This mode is automatically selected when your vehicle is in any mode except maximum air conditioning. The right knob can also be used to select defog or defrost mode. For more information, see “Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section. # (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning system on or off. When it is pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on to let you know that air conditioning is activated. You may notice a slight change in engine performance when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while still maintaining the selected temperature. On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them and switch to maximum air conditioning mode. This helps to reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. 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. ( (Heated Seats): Press this button to turn on the heated seats. The button on the left controls the driver’s seat and the button on the right controls the passenger’s seat. See Heated Seats on page 10 for additional information. 210 Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity, or 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 or frost 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. Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode. - (Defog): This mode directs air to the windshield and the ﬂoor outlets. When this mode is selected, the system runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the defog mode. 0(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with some air directed to the ﬂoor outlets. In this mode, the system will automatically run the air conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while in the defrost mode. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. < (Rear Window Defogger): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes after the button is pressed. 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. Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. 211 Outlet Adjustment k (Open): Turn the thumbwheel to this position to open the air outlets. l (Closed): Turn the thumbwheel to this position to close the air outlets. Use the louvers located on the air outlets to change the direction of the airﬂow. Operation Tips (cid:127) Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the vehicle 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. 212 Rear Climate Control System (Option A, Uplevel) Your vehicle may have a rear climate control system that allows the driver to adjust the fan speed for the rear seating area.

To replace the ﬁlter, do the following: Passenger Compartment Air Filter Passenger compartment air, both outside and recirculated air, is routed through a passenger compartment ﬁlter. The ﬁlter removes most particles from the air, including dust particles. Reductions in airﬂow, which may occur more quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the ﬁlter needs to be replaced early. For how often to change the air ﬁlter, see Scheduled Maintenance on page 522. 1. Pull the tab located on the outer access panel up and out. 217 3. The ﬁrst air ﬁlter will pull straight out. To remove the second, reach in and slide it toward the opening. Pull the second ﬁlter out. 4. Replace the ﬁlters by reversing Step 3. Make sure the ﬁlters are inserted so that the sealing foam is angled in the same direction on both ﬁlters. For the type of ﬁlter to use, see Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 532. 5. Close the inner access door, while squeezing the tab. Be sure it is tightly closed. 6. Snap the outer access panel into the back of the glove box. 2. Then push the tab, located on the left of the inner access panel, to the right. 218 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. Please 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. 219 Instrument Panel Cluster Your 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 other things you will need to drive safely and economically. The indicator warning lights and gages are explained on the following pages. United States version shown, Canada similar 220 Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). Speedometer and Odometer Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer. You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a new odometer installed. The new one can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can display how far you have driven since you last reset it. For more information see DIC Operation and Displays on page 235. 221 Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. If the driver remains unbuckled when the ignition is on and the vehicle is in motion, the chime and safety belt light will be repeated. You should buckle your seat belt. If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will come on for several seconds to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt. This would only occur if a passenger is detected by the passenger sensing system. See Passenger Sensing System on page 93 for more information. The passenger safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. You should have the passenger buckle their safety belt. This light and chime reminder will be repeated if the ignition is on, the vehicle is in motion, the passenger is still unbuckled and the passenger airbag is enabled. If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. 222 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 comes on if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensor, the airbag modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 83. 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 RUN. If the light doesn’t come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. 223 Passenger Airbag Status Indicator Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system. Your instrument panel has a passenger airbag status indicator. If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger’s airbag or airbags are enabled (may inﬂate). {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 and seat-mounted side impact airbag (if equipped). 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. Passenger Airbag Status Indicator – United States Passenger Airbag Status Indicator – Canada When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a 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 and side impact airbag (if equipped). 224 Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front.” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. {CAUTION: Even though the passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal airbag and side impact airbag (if equipped) 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 airbag or airbags. See Passenger Sensing System on page 93 for more on this, including important safety information. If, after several seconds, all 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 retailer for service. {CAUTION: If the off indicator and the airbag readiness light ever come on together, 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 seat may not have the protection of an airbag. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 223. 225 Charging System Light The charging system light will come on brieﬂy when you turn on the ignition, but the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is working. It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the charging system. It could indicate that you have problems with a generator drive belt, or another electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while this light is on could drain your battery. If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner. Brake System Warning Light When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will 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. 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 could be a brake problem. Have your brake system inspected right away. United States Canada 226 This light should come on brieﬂy when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If it doesn’t come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a 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 Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on page 227 and Towing Your Vehicle on page 396. {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 Your vehicle has an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning light. This light should come on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If this light stays on longer than normal after you have started your engine, turn the ignition off. If the light comes on and stays on when you are 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 are driving, the ABS needs service and you do not have anti-lock brakes. 227 Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light Your vehicle is equipped with a traction control system warning light. (cid:127) If the traction control system is affected by an engine-related problem, the system will turn off and the warning light will come on. If the traction control system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. Engine Coolant Temperature Gage The traction control system warning light may come on for the following reasons: (cid:127) If you turn the system off by pressing the traction control button. To turn the system back on, press the button again. The warning light should go off. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 365 for more information. If there’s a brake system problem that is speciﬁcally related to traction control, the traction control system will turn off and the warning light will come on. If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control system will turn off and the warning light will come on until your brakes cool down. (cid:127) 228 United States Canada This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the red gage lamp turns on, your engine is too hot! It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you have been operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 435. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light Your vehicle has 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. If you keep driving your vehicle 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. Notice: with this 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, transaxle, 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. See Accessories and Modiﬁcations on page 412. 229 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: (cid:127) 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. (cid:127) 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 (cid:127) If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible 230 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 retailer 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 the Tank on page 417. 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. 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 414. 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 retailer can check the vehicle. Your retailer 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 in order 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 retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection. 231 Oil Pressure Light If you have low engine oil pressure, this light will stay on after you start your engine, or come on when you are driving. {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. This indicates that your engine is not receiving enough oil. The engine could be low on oil, or could have some other oil problem. Have it ﬁxed immediately by your GM retailer. The oil light could also come on in three other situations: (cid:127) When the ignition is on but the engine is not running, the light will come on as a test to show you it is working. The light will go out when you turn the ignition on. If it does not come on with the ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it ﬁxed right away. If you are idling at a stop sign, the light may blink on and then off. If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a moment. This is normal. (cid:127) (cid:127) 232 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. Security Light For information regarding this light, see Theft-Deterrent Systems on page 133. Cruise Control Light Fuel Gage 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 188 for more information. Highbeam On Light This light will come on when the high-beam headlamps or the Flash-to-Pass feature is in use. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 185. United States Canada When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little fuel left, but you should get more soon. Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the ignition is on. 233 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. (cid:127) At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off (cid:127) 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. (cid:127) The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. (cid:127) 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. 234 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. If equipped, the outside air temperature automatically appears in the bottom right corner of the DIC display when viewing all of the information screens, except for the oil life screens. If the outside air temperature is at or below 37°F (3°C), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the outside temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is a problem with the system that controls the temperature display, the letters OC (open circuit) or SC (short circuit) will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your retailer. The DIC also allows some features to be customized or personalized, if equipped. See DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 261 for more information. DIC Operation and Displays The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by pressing the DIC buttons located on the center of the instrument panel. The buttons are the information, set/reset, and menu buttons. The button functions are detailed in the following pages. DIC Buttons Q4R (Information): Press this button to display the odometer, trip distance, time elapsed, average speed, fuel economy, battery voltage, oil life, and to turn off the DIC. r (Set/Reset): Press this button to set or reset certain functions and to turn off or acknowledge messages on the DIC. 235 q (Menu): Press this button to display the units, language, personalization, if equipped, compass zone and compass calibration, if equipped. See DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 261 and DIC Compass (Uplevel Only) on page 240 for more information. Information Button Items Q4R (Information): Press this button to scroll through the following items: Odometer Press the information button until the odometer displays. This mode shows the distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles or kilometers. Trip A and Trip B Press the information button until A or B displays. This mode shows the current distance traveled in either miles or kilometers since the last reset for each trip odometer. Both trip odometers can be used at the same time. 236 The display will show the odometer on the top line and the trip odometer information, either A or B, on the bottom line. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by pressing the set/reset button while the desired trip odometer is displayed. There is also a retroactive trip odometer function that performs the following for each trip odometer: (cid:127) If the vehicle’s speed has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h) during the current ignition cycle, this function will set the trip odometer to the distance driven during the current ignition cycle.

For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may change even though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Fuel range cannot be reset. If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW FUEL” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 241 for more information. 237 Average Fuel Economy Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY displays. This mode shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
