Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation:
AFE Distance/Fuel
-
Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
-
Fuel The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value
The IPC receives a class 2 message from the ECM regarding fuel usage information. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can
be changed between English units and metric units by pressing the ENG/MET button on the DIC switch. Press and hold the Reset button on the radio
switch for one second in order to reset the AFE display.
Average Speed
Average speed is calculated using the equation:
Average Speed = Distance/Ignition On
-
Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value
-
Ignition On = The accumulated ignition on time since the last reset of this value
Ignition on time is measured from the time that the ignition is turned ON to the time when the ignition is turned OFF. The value of this mode is
retained during ignition OFF. Press and hold the Reset button on the radio switch for one second in order to reset the average speed display.
Battery Voltage
The IPC receives a class 2 message from the ECM for battery voltage data. When the battery voltage is below the normal operating range, the DIC
displays BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW and the actual battery voltage. When the battery voltage is greater than the normal operating range, the DIC
displays BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH and the actual battery voltage. The charging system indicator also illuminates when the battery voltage is
outside the normal operating range.
Engine Oil Life
The ECM sends the oil life remaining percentage to the radio via class 2 serial data messages. The radio displays the current percentage of the GM Oil
Life System as determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage drops below 10%, the radio displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL. When
the engine oil is changed, reset the engine oil life in order to clear the oil life remaining percentage display. Press and hold the Reset button on the DIC
switch for 5 seconds until the radio displays NORMAL 100%.
Feature Programming
Personalization features may be set for the vehicle or the driver. Vehicle features do not change with each driver. Specific drivers are recognized by
the vehicle through the keyless entry transmitters, the memory buttons or the driver information center. For more information on the Personalization
