Use or to choose the Trip, Vehicle, or Eco menus. Use or to scroll through items in each menu.

Trip/Fuel Menu (TRIP) Items

Speed : Displays how fast the vehicle is moving in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). The speedometer cannot be reset.

Trip 1 or Trip 2, Average Fuel Economy : Displays the current distance traveled, in either kilometers (km) or miles (mi), from the last reset for the trip odometer.

The trip odometer can be reset to zero by pressing and holding the button while the trip odometer display is showing.

Also displays the approximate average liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number is based on the number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. This number reflects only the approximate average fuel economy that the vehicle has right now, and will change as driving conditions change. Reset the average consumption by pressing when it is displayed.

Fuel Range : Displays the approximate distance the vehicle can be driven without refueling. The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the vehicle's fuel economy over recent driving history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. Fuel range cannot be reset.

Average Vehicle Speed : Displays the average vehicle speed of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). This average is based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset. Reset the average speed by pressing when it is displayed.

Timer : To start the timer, press while Timer is displayed. The display will show the amount of time that has passed since the timer was last reset, not including time the ignition is off. Time will continue to be counted as long as the ignition is on, even if another display is being shown on the DIC. The timer will record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the display will return to zero.

To stop the timer, press briefly while Timer is displayed. To reset the timer to zero, press and hold .

Navigation : Used for the OnStar Turn-by-Turn guidance.

Blank Display : Displays no information.

Vehicle Information Menu (VEHICLE) Items

Units : Choose between Metric or US when Units is active. Press to confirm the setting. This will change the displays on the DIC to the type of measurements you select.

Speed Warning : This display is used to set the vehicle speed at which the speed warning chime sounds and the alert is displayed.

The speed can be set by pressing while the speed warning display is showing.

Remaining Oil Life : Displays an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains.

When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display.

The oil should be changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil.

In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Maintenance Schedule.

The Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. Do not reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system, see Engine Oil Life System.

Oil Pressure : Oil pressure is displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per square inch (psi).

Fuel Filter Life : This display shows an estimate of the fuel filter's remaining useful life. If 90% Fuel Filter Life Remaining is displayed, it means 90% of the current fuel filter life remains. The fuel filter life system will alert when to change the fuel filter on a schedule consistent with your driving conditions. When the remaining fuel filter life is low, the CHANGE FUEL FILTER message will appear on the display.

Change the fuel filter as soon as possible.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

Level : The DEF level will be displayed as either OK, XX%, or LOW. When LOW appears on the display, add DEF as soon as possible. See Diesel Exhaust Fluid.

Tire Pressure : Displays a vehicle with the approximate pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per square inch (psi).

See Tire Pressure Monitor System and Tire Pressure Monitor Operation.

Battery Voltage : Displays the current battery voltage, if equipped.

Battery voltage changes are normal while driving. See Charging System Light. If there is a problem with the battery charging system, the DIC will display a message.

Coolant Temperature : Displays the coolant temperature in degrees Celsius (C) or degrees Fahrenheit (F).

TC/Stabilitrak : If equipped, press to turn on or off Traction Control or Stabilitrak.

ECO Drive Assist Menu (ECO) Items

Fuel Economy : The center displays the approximate instantaneous fuel economy as a number and bar graph. Displayed above the bar graph is a running average of fuel economy for the most recently traveled selected distance. Displayed below the bar graph is the best average fuel economy that has been achieved for the selected distance. The selected distance is displayed at the top of the page as "last xxx mi/km." Press to select the distance or reset best value.

The display provides information on how current driving behavior affects the running average and how well recent driving compares to the best that has been achieved for the selected distance.

Economy Trend : Shows history of the Average Fuel Economy from the last 50 km (30 mi). Each bar represents about 5 km (3 mi) of driving. During driving the bars will shift to always reflect the most recent distance on the right side.

Press and hold to clear the graph or press to reset through the menu.
