Average Fuel Economy 

Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: Average Fuel Economy = Distance/Fuel.

The ECM sends the average fuel economy GMLAN message to the instrument cluster. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the driver information center options menu.

Fuel Range 

This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the instrument cluster. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

The engine control module (ECM) sends the fuel range value to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message with fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between Europe-SI, USA and GB units by accessing the driver information center Units menu. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.

Average Vehicle Speed 

Average speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = Average Speed Distance/Average Speed Time.

Timer 

The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the driver information center displays the timer, pressing the Set/Reset switch for longer than 1 s the driver information center resets the timer. Pressing the Set/Reset button on the driver information center switch for approximately 1 s starts and stops the timer. The driver information center displays the timer in one of the following formats:

The driver information center displays the timer in the following format: XX: XX:XX:

The first XX represents hours elapsed, the second XX represents minutes elapsed, and the third XX represents seconds elapsed. The maximum range of the timer is 99 h, 59 min, and 59 s. After the maximum range is reached, the timer displays zeros in all positions. (00:00:00).

Oil Life Remaining 

The ECM sends the oil life remaining percentage to the instrument cluster via a GMLAN message. The instrument panel cluster receives a GMLAN message indicating the engine oil life remaining. The driver information center displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 5%, the driver information center displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to the owners manual for instructions on resetting the oil life monitor.

Units Menu 

The unit mode is used to toggle between Europe-SI, USA and GB units and can be accessed through the driver information center Menu switch and the driver information center Set/Reset switch.

Tire Pressure Monitor 

The instrument cluster receives a GMLAN message from the tire pressure monitoring system for front and rear tire pressure data. The driver information center will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires. When a tire with low air pressure is present, the driver information center displays a warning, CHECK XX TIRE PRESSURE.

Compass 

The vehicle may have a compass display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). On most vehicles, the compass receives its heading and other information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak, and vehicle speed information. On vehicles without a telematics communication interface control module, a dedicated compass module is used to perform the same function as the telematics communication interface module.

Avoid covering the GPS antenna for long periods of time with objects that may interfere with the antenna's ability to receive a satellite signal.

Battery Voltage 

The battery voltage can be accessed through the driver information center Trip/Fuel switch function. The driver information center shows the battery voltage measured at the B+ input circuit.
