Information Displays
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The DIC is displayed in the instrument cluster. It shows the status of many vehicle systems. DIC information is broken down into three main zones:
Control Panel: A touchscreen display to the left of the instrument cluster.
Left Zone: Displays on the instrument cluster to the left of the speedometer.
Right Zone: Displays on the instrument cluster to the right of the speedometer.
Instruments and Controls 125 y or z: Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the previous or next selection. V: Press the thumbwheel to open a menu or select a menu item. Press and hold to reset certain displays.
DIC Information Display Options
Select which info display to view on the DIC through the Settings menu, or by selecting Show in cluster in the Vehicle Information on the infotainment display. See Settings 0 183 or Vehicle Information 0 127. If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement for more information.
DIC Information Displays
The following is the list of all possible DIC information displays and their locations. Some of the information displays may not be available for your particular vehicle.
Control Panel
Trip 1 or Trip 2 and Average Fuel Economy: The Trip display shows the current distance traveled, in either kilometer (km) or miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last reset. To reset the current trip, touch and hold the touchscreen display when the trip odometer is displayed. The Average Fuel Economy display shows the approximate average liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number is calculated based on the number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. This number reflects only the approximate average fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and will change as driving conditions change. The Average Fuel Economy can be reset along with the trip odometer by touching and holding the touchscreen display when the trip odometer is displayed.
Left Zone
Time/Date: Displays current date and time information.
Auto Lane Change: Displays the status of a driver-requested lane change when Super Cruise is active. See Super Cruise 0 258.
Efficiency Gauge: Displays a gauge that is a guide to driving efficiently.
Efficient Driving is shown by a green ball in the center of the gauge. Inefficient driving is shown by a yellow ball above the center of the gauge. Aggressive braking is shown by a yellow ball below the center of the gauge.
Average Speed: This shows the average speed of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this value. The average speed can be reset by touching the reset on the vehicle information screen.
Traffic Sign Memory: If equipped, the detected speed limit is displayed in the lower left of the speedometer gauge. If an additional sign is detected with the speed
limit sign a 1 symbol is displayed. Additionally, the current detected traffic sign is displayed on the Traffic Sign Memory page in the DIC.
If another page on the DIC menu is selected and the Traffic Sign Memory page is chosen again, the last recognized traffic sign will be displayed. The indication of multiple signs on the display is possible.
Touch the main infotainment display while this display is active to reset or turn the Traffic Sign alerts on or off. Upon successful reset, a no-sign graphic appears until the next traffic sign is detected or provided by the navigation system map data. When alerts are turned on and another page on the DIC menu is selected, a Sign Detected alert displays when a new traffic sign is recognized. The alert can be dismissed by pressing the thumbwheel. In some cases, traffic sign memory is cleared automatically by the system. See Traffic Sign Assistant 0 297.
Timer: This display can be used as a timer. To start the timer, touch Start while this display is active. The display will show the amount of time that has passed since the timer was last reset.

TRAILER OUTPUT shows the power output to the trailer any time a trailer with electric brakes is connected. Output is displayed as a bar graph. Dotted lines may appear in the OUTPUT display if a trailer is not connected.
Oil Life: Shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains. When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. The oil should be changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil 0 343. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended. See Maintenance Schedule 0 417.
The Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Do not reset the Oil Life display accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset, see Engine Oil Life System 0 345.
Fuel Economy: Displays information about current and average fuel economy.
Oil Pressure: Shows the engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) or psi (pounds per square inch).
Engine Hours: Shows the total number of hours the engine has run.

Care of the HUD
Clean the inside of the windshield to remove any dirt or film that could reduce the sharpness or clarity of the HUD image. Clean the HUD lens with a soft cloth sprayed with glass cleaner. Wipe the lens gently, then dry it.
