VehicleInformationMenu Items

Press MENU on the turn signal lever until the Vehicle Information Menu is displayed. Use W / X to scroll through the following menu items:

• Unit
• Tire Pressure
• Remaining Oil Life
• Battery Voltage

Unit

Press SET/CLR to set. Move W / X to switch between metric or US when the set Unit display is active. Press SET/CLR to confirm the setting. This will change the displays on the cluster and DIC to either metric or English (US) measurements.

TirePressure

The display will show a vehicle with the approximate pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or pounds per square inch (psi). See Tire PressureMonitorSystem0 296 and TirePressureMonitor Operation0 297.

RemainingOilLife

This display shows 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 EngineOil0 260. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See Maintenance Schedule0 332.

Remember, the Remaining Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the Remaining 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, press SET/CLR while the Remaining Oil Life display is active. See EngineOil LifeSystem0 262.

BatteryVoltage

This display shows the current battery voltage. If the voltage is in the normal range, the value will display. For example, the display may read Battery Voltage 15.0 Volts. The vehicle's charging system regulates voltage based on the state of the battery. The battery voltage can fluctuate while viewing this information on the DIC. This is normal.

BatteryLoad Management

The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.

Whenthebattery'sstateofcharge islow,thevoltageisraisedslightly toquicklybringthechargebackup. Whenthestateofchargeishigh, thevoltageisloweredslightlyto preventovercharging.Ifthevehicle hasavoltmetergaugeoravoltage displayontheDriverInformation Center(DIC),youmayseethe

voltagemoveupordown. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.

The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough that lidetoproduce all of the power needed for very high electrical loads.

Ahighelectricalloadoccurswhen severalofthefollowingareon,such as:headlamps,highbeams,rear windowdefogger,climatecontrolfan athighspeed,heatedseats,engine coolingfans,trailerloads,andloads pluggedintoaccessorypower outlets.

EPMworkstoppreventexcessive dischargeofthebattery.ltdoesthis bybalancingthegenerator'soutput andthevehicle'selectricalneeds. Itcanincreaseengineidlespeedto generatemorepowerwhenever needed.Itcantemporarilyreduce thepowerdemandsofsome accessories.

Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest level of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed and it is recommended that the driver reduces the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 110.

BatteryPowerProtection

The battery saverfeature is designed to protect the vehicle's battery.

If some interior lamps are left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp after sometime.

ControlofaVehicle

Braking, steering, and accelerating are important factors in helping to control vehicle while driving.

Braking

Brakingactioninvolvesperception timeandreactiontime.Decidingto pushthebrakepedalisperception time.Actuallydoingitis reactiontime.

Averagedriverreactiontimeis aboutthree-quartersofasecond.In thattime,avehiclemovingat 100km/h(60mph)travels20m (66ft),whichcouldbealotof distanceinanemergency.

Helpfulbrakingtipstokeepinmind include:

• Keepenoughdistancebetween youandthevehicleinfront ofyou.
• Avoidneedlessheavybraking.
• Keeppacewithtraffic.

If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but donot pump the brakes. Doings could make the pedal hardertop ush down. If the engine stops, there will become power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Onc the power assist is used up, it cantak elongertostop and the brake pedal will be hardertop ush.

Steering

The vehicle has electric power steering. It does not have power steering fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.

If the steering wheelisturned until it reaches the end of a travel and is held against that position for an extended period of time, power steering assist may be reduced.

If the steering assist is used for an extended period of time, power assist may be reduced.

VehicleLoadLimits

It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and include the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options. Twolabelson the vehicle may show how much weight it may properly carry: the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification label.

Warning

Donotloadthevehicleany heavierthantheGross VehicleWeightRating (GVWR),oreitherthe maximumfrontorrearGross AxleWeightRating(GAWR). Thiscancausesystemsto breakandchangethewaythe vehiclehandles. Thiscould causelossofcontrolanda crash. Overloadingcanalso reducestoppingdistance, damagethetires,andshorten thelifeofthevehicle.

TireandLoadingInformation Label

LabelExample

Avehicle-specificTire and LoadingInformationlabelis attached to the vehicle's center pillar (B-pillar). The Tire and LoadingInformationlabel shows thenumber of occupant seating positions (1), and them a maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the tiresize of the original

equipmenttires(3)andthe recommendedcoldtireinflation pressures(4).Formore informationontiresandinflation see Tires→288and Tire Pressure→295.

Thereisalsoimportantloading informationontheCertification label.ItmayshowtheGross VehicleWeightRating(GVWR) andtheGrossAxleWeight Rating(GAWR)forthefrontand rearaxle.See"Certification Label"laterinthissection.

"StepsforDeterminingCorrect LoadLimit—

1. Locatethestatement"The combinedweight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXXkgor XXXlbs." on your vehicle's placard.

2. Determinethecombined weightofthedriverand passengersthatwillbe ridinginyourvehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgor XXXlbs.

4. Theresultingfigureequals theavailableamountof cargoandluggageload capacity. Forexample, ifthe "XXX" amountequals 1400lbs.andtherewillbe five150lbpassengersin yourvehicle, theamountof availablecargoandluggage loadcapacityis650lbs. (1400-750(5x150)=650lbs.)

BrakeAssist

The Brake Assist feature is designed to assist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brakes system under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedal in an attempt to quickly stoporslowdown the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control module increases brake pressure at each corner of the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal pulsation or pedalmovement during this time is normal and the drivers should continueto apply the brake pedal as the drivingsituation dictates. The Brake Assist feature will automatically disengagewhen the brake pedal is released for brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased.

TirePressure

Tiresneedthecorrectamountof airpressuretooperate effectively.

Caution

Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good. Under inflated tires, ortires that donothaveenoughair, can result in:

• Tireoverloading and overheating which could lead to a blowout.
  • Prematureor irregularwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Reducedfueleconomy.

Overinflatedtires, ortiresthat havetoomuchair, can resultin:

• Unusualwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Roughride.
• Needlessdamagefrom roadhazards.

The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicates the originalequipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum loadcarrying capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits 224.

Howthevehicleisloaded affectsvehiclehandlingandride comfort. Neverloadthevehicle withmoreweightthanitwas designedtocarry.

WhentoCheck

Checkthetiresonceamonthor more. Donotforgetthecompact spare, if the vehicle has one. The cold compact spare tire pressures should be 420 kPa (60 psi). See Compact Spare Tire 314.

HowtoCheck

Useagoodqualitypocket-type gaugetochecktirepressure. Propertireinflationcannotbe determinedbylookingatthetire. Checkthetireinflationpressure whenthetiresarecold,meaning thevehiclehasnotbeendriven foratleastthreehoursorno morethan1.6km(1mi).

Putthevalvecapsbackonthe valvestemstokeepoutdirtand moistureandpreventleaks.Use onlyvalvecapsdesignedforthe vehiclebyGM.TPMSsensors couldbedamagedandwould notbecoveredbythevehicle warranty.

TirePressureMonitor System

The TirePressureMonitorSystem (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and transmit tire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of different sizing thanthesize indicated on the vehicle placard or

tireinflationpressurelabel,you shoulddeterminethepropertire inflationpressureforthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, whentelowtire pressuretelltaleilluminates, you shouldstopandcheckyourtiresas soonaspossible, andinflatethem totheproperpressure. Drivingona significantlyunder-inflatedtire causesthetiretooverheatandcan leadtotirefailure. Under-inflation alsoreducesfuelefficiencyandtire treadlife, andmayaffectthe vehicle'shandlingandstopping ability.

TirePressureMonitor Operation

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when alow tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted on to each tire and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmits the tire pressurereading to are receiver in the vehicle.

Whenalowtirepressurecondition isdetected,theTPMSilluminates thelowtirepressurewarninglight ontheinstrumentcluster.Ifthe warninglightcomeson,stopas soonaspossibleandinflatethe tirestotherecommendedpressure shownontheTireandLoading Informationlabel.SeeVehicleLoad Limits224.

UniformTireQuality Grading

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway

TrafficSafetyAdministration (NHTSA), which gradestires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle less sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger cartires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to deeptread, wintertires, compact spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosomelimited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passengers cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

Qualitygradescanbefound whereapplicableonthetire sidewallbetweentreadshoulder andmaximumsectionwidth. For example:

Treadwear200TractionAA TemperatureA

All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements In Addition To These Grades.

Treadwear

Thetreadweargradeisa comparativeratingbasedonthe wearrateofthetirewhentested undercontrolledconditionsona specifiedgovernmenttest course. Forexample, atire graded150wouldwearoneand one-half(1½)timesaswellon thegovernmentcourseasatire graded100. Therelative performanceoftiresdepends upontheactualconditionsof theiruse, however, andmay departsignificantlyfromthe

normduetovariationsindriving habits,servicepracticesand differencesinroad characteristicsandclimate.

Traction

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled condition on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
