Average Fuel Economy

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

The IPC calculates AFE based on fuel and distance data sent on serial data circuit from the ECM. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by selecting from the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

Average Vehicle Speed

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

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 IPC. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

IPC receives a serial data message with fuel information and calculates fuel range. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value. The fuel used value is retained as long as battery power is available to the DIC. The fuel used value can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)

IFE is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.

The IPC calculates IFE based on fuel information message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The IFE display cannot be reset.

Trip Time

The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing the SET/RESET switch for 1.5 second on the DIC resets the timer. Pressing the SET/RESET button on the DIC switch starts and stops the timer. The DIC displays the timer in one of the following formats:

The DIC 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 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. After the maximum range is reached, the timer displays all zeros (00:00:00).

Battery voltage data is not determined by the DIC and is not a resettable parameter. The DIC displays (- - -) when an invalid battery data is received or when the IPC experiences a loss serial data communication.

The Engine Oil Life Remaining displays the estimated percentage of oil life remaining. The engine control module (ECM) sends the oil life remaining data to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via serial data message. The driver information center (DIC) displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the engine oil life remaining percentage drops below a pre-determined value, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting.

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives serial data message from the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system indicating the front and rear tire pressure. The driver information center (DIC) will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires. Tire pressure values are not resettable through the DIC. The tire programming menu can only be achieved with the vehicle transmission in PARK.

The park assist menu is displayed in the driver information center (DIC) to indicate the ON/OFF status. The DIC displays the current state of the park assist until the instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a serial data message from the BCM indicating a status change. The DIC displays (-- -- --) when communication with park assist is lost.

The key fob programming menu is used to initiate programming of the key fobs. The key fob programming menu can only be achieved with the vehicle transmission in PARK.

The English/Metric button is used to toggle between English and Metric unit and can be accessed through the DIC trip/fuel switch.

The trip odometer A or B can be accessed through the DIC trip/fuel switch.

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the vehicle odometer in the driver information center (DIC). The IPC calculates the vehicle odometer based on serial data vehicle speed information from the engine control module (ECM). The IPC stores the odometer information in non volatile memory and displays 'error' in the DIC if an internal IPC memory failure is detected. When the ignition is in RUN, the vehicle odometer is accessed through the trip/fuel DIC switch. When the ignition is OFF or ACCY and the trip/fuel switch is pressed, the DIC displays the odometer. The odometer displays miles or kilometers as selected from the DIC vehicle information switch.

The driver information center (DIC) is capable of displaying in the languages listed below. The Language settings is accessed through the DIC personalization switch.

The driver information center (DIC) displays the compass based on serial data message from the BCM. The compass module communicates with the body control module (BCM) through a bi-directional data circuit. The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives compass information from the BCM via the serial data circuit. The compass is displayed in the DIC with other vehicle information and is displayed at the bottom line of the DIC. The compass displays "- -" (dashes) when a malfunction is present with the compass module or a compass serial data communication fault exists. The compass displays 'CAL' or 'C' when the compass needs to be calibrated. Cycle the ignition before performing the compass magnetic variation zone adjustment procedure. The DIC vehicle information switch allows the compass zone to be changed or the compass recalibrated.

Check that the compass module is properly installed in the vehicle since this may cause the compass to malfunction. The embossed arrow on the top of the compass module should be parallel to the centerline of the vehicle.

The driver information center displays the vehicle speed based on vehicle speed serial data information from the ECM. The vehicle speed can be displayed in English or Metric Units. English or Metric Units can be selected from the DIC vehicle information menu. The DIC displays vehicle speed as ###.km/h or ###.mph.
