connection to the IPC. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.
-
Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
-
Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value
The ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. The IPC receives a GMLAN message with fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during
ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC English/Metric menu. The Fuel Range display cannot be
reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
IFE is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.
-
Distance = The accumulated distance travelled for the last 2 seconds
-
Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered for the last 2 seconds
The IPC receives a GMLAN 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 accessing the DIC English/Metric menu.
The IFE display cannot be reset.
Elapsed Time
The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing the SET/RESET switch for 1 second on the DIC
resets the timer. Pressing the SET/RESET button on the DIC switch for approximately 1 second 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).
Engine Oil Life Remaining
The engine control module (ECM) sends the engine oil life remaining percentage to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via a GMLAN serial data
message. The DIC displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the oil life remaining percentage
drops below 5 percent, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to
GM Oil Life System - Resetting.
Tire Pressure Monitor
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a GMLAN message from the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system for the front and rear tire pressure.
The driver information center (DIC) will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires. When a tire with low air pressure is present, the DIC
displays XX TIRE PRESSURE LOW.
Park Assist Menu
The park assist menu is displayed in the DIC. The DIC displays the current state of the park assist - ON/OFF. The IPC receives a serial data message
indicating the state of the park assist system. The DIC displays (- - -) when communication with the park assist system is lost.
