Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Lamp)

Located In the instrument panel, this
lamp illuminates under a variety of con­ditions when the On-Board Diagnostics
II (OBD II) system detects a malfunction
in the vehicle’s emission controls. If it is
lit steadily, check the gas cap to ensure
that it is present and securely fastened.
Turn it clockwise until a “ratcheting”
sound is heard, signaling that it is
secure. If this is the cause of the condi­tion, a few driving trips with the cap
installed properly should turn the light
off.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Driver Information Center (DIC)

The DIC features a message center that
can display trip information, fuel econo­my information, personalization features
and other messages or warnings. The
DIC display is located above the steer­ing wheel on the instrument cluster, and
can be programmed in six languages. To
access the various DIC modes, press
one of the following DIC buttons located
on the steering wheel:

INST. ECON calculates miles per gallon

percentage of the oil’s remaining useful

Select/Reset button for four seconds
while ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed.

With the GM Oil Life System™, your
vehicle may achieve 15,000-mile oil
change intervals under ideal conditions.
