GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only
FUEL USED: This mode shows the total amount of fuel used since you last reset it. The amount can be displayed in gallons or liters.

AVG ECON (Average Economy): This mode shows the average fuel economy since you last reset it.

OIL LIFE: This shows a percentage of the engine's oil remaining useful life. The system predicts remaining oil life using data from length of drives, coolant temperature, engine rpm and vehicle speed. Each time you get an oil change, be sure to reset this function so that it will give you an accurate percentage. See "How to Reset the GM Oil Life System" under Engine Oil .

RANGE: This mode shows how much farther you can travel with the fuel you have remaining in the gas tank before refueling. When the range displays L, for 40 to 50 miles (64.36 to 80.45 km), the display will flash LOW continuously. The range is calculated from the AVG ECON value multiplied by the fuel remaining in the tank.

LOW: This light will come on the vehicle outline when the ignition is on and the fluid in the washer fluid container is low.

DOOR AJAR: If one of the doors is left ajar, a light will appear next to that door on the vehicle outline.

BOOST GAGE: If you have the 3800 V6 supercharged engine, this gage will show the amount of boost the engine is receiving.

TRUNK AJAR: If the trunk is not fully closed, the trunk area will light up on the vehicle outline.

LOW TRAC (Low Traction): This light will come on when the enhanced traction system (3100 or 3800 V6 engine) or the traction control system (3800 supercharged V6 engine) is limiting wheel spin. See Traction Control System (TCS) , Enhanced Traction System (ETS) and Low Traction Light .

TRAC OFF (Traction Off) or TCS OFF (Traction Control System Off): This light lets you know that the enhanced traction system (3100 or 3800 V6 engine) or the traction control system (3800 supercharged V6 engine) has been disabled and will not limit wheel spin. See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light , Enhanced Traction System Warning Light and Low Traction Light .

TRAC (Traction) or TCS (Traction Control System): If the vehicle has the enhanced traction system (3100 or 3800 V6 engine) or the traction control system (3800 supercharged V6 engine), you will have a disable button on the far right side of the trip computer. The enhanced traction system and traction control system are automatically activated when you turn the ignition on. This button will activate/deactivate the system. If you need to disable the system, such as when you are stuck and are rocking the vehicle back and forth, push this button. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow .
