Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven, in either kilometers or miles. The odometer is always displayed at the bottom of the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the vehicle has been driven since the trip odometer was last reset. The trip odometer is accessed and reset through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 126 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 124.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). For vehicles with the Stop/Start system, when the ignition is on, the tachometer indicates the vehicle status. When pointing to AUTO STOP, the engine is off but the vehicle is on and can move. The engine could auto-start at any time. When the indicator points to OFF, the vehicle is off. When the engine is on, the tachometer will indicate the rpm. The tachometer may vary by several hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode, when the engine is shutting off and restarting. 108 Instruments and Controls
Fuel Gauge
Metric Base Level
English Base Level
Metric Uplevel
English Uplevel
When the ignition is on, the fuel gauge indicates the approximate amount of fuel left in the tank. There is an arrow near the fuel gauge pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. When the indicator is empty, the low fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel left, but the vehicle should be refueled soon. The fuel gauge may:
- Take a little more, or less fuel to fill up than it indicates. For example, the gauge may have indicated the tank is half full, but it takes a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the tank.
- Moves a little while turning a corner, speeding up, or braking.
- Takes a few seconds to stabilize after the ignition is turned on and goes back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of which indicate a problem with the fuel gauge.
Fuel Range
The uplevel instrument cluster has an estimated fuel range located in the bottom center of the display. The fuel range is displayed with the approximate distance the vehicle can be driven without refueling. The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent driving history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank. When the estimated fuel range is low, the range shows LOW and a message may also be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Metric Base Level

The engine oil pressure gauge shows the engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) or psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Oil pressure can vary with engine speed, outside temperature, coolant temperature, and oil viscosity. On some models, the oil pump will vary engine oil pressure according to engine needs. Oil pressure may change quickly as the engine speed or load varies. This is normal. If the oil pressure warning light or Driver Information Center (DIC) message indicates oil pressure outside the normal operating range, check the vehicle’s oil as soon as possible.

Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. Driving with the engine oil low can also damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil level as soon as possible. Add oil if required, but if the oil level is within the operating range and the oil pressure is still low, have the vehicle serviced. Always follow the maintenance schedule for changing engine oil.
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement.
Uplevel
This gauge displays while the lower gauges are configured to display four gauges. To change gauge configurations, see “Options” under Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0 108 or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 109.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Metric Base Level
English Base Level
Metric Uplevel
English Uplevel
This gauge measures the temperature of the vehicle’s engine coolant. While driving under normal operating conditions, if the needle moves into the red warning area, the engine is too hot. Pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
Transmission Temperature Gauge (Uplevel only)
Metric Uplevel
English Uplevel
This gauge displays while the vehicle is in the Tow/Haul driver mode, and the lower gauges are configured to display four gauges. The transmission fluid temperature is also selectable as Left/Right side info. To change gauge configurations, see “Options” under Instrument Cluster (Base Level) or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel).
The transmission temperature gauge shows the transmission fluid temperature. If the gauge is reading in the red area and/or a message appears in the Driver Information Center (DIC), the vehicle must be stopped and the cause checked. One possible cause is a low fluid level in the transmission
Caution
Do not drive the vehicle while the transmission fluid is overheating, or the transmission can be damaged. This could lead to costly repairs that would not be covered by the warranty.
Voltmeter Gauge
Base Level
Uplevel
When the ignition is on, this gauge indicates the battery voltage. When the engine is running, this gauge shows the condition of the charging system. The gauge can transition from a higher to lower or a lower to higher reading. This is normal. If the vehicle is operating outside the normal operating range, the charging system light comes on. See Charging System Light 0 114. The voltmeter gauge may also read lower when in fuel economy mode. This is normal.
Readings outside the normal operating range can also occur when a large number of electrical accessories are operating in the vehicle and the engine is left idling for an extended period. This condition is normal since the charging system is not able to provide full power at the engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds allow the charging system to create maximum power.
The vehicle can only be driven for a short time with the readings outside the normal operating range. If the vehicle must be driven, turn off all accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
Readings outside the normal operating range indicate a possible problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
Uplevel
This gauge displays while the lower gauges are configured to display four gauges. When the vehicle is in the Tow/Haul driver mode this gauge is replaced by the transmission temperature gauge. To change gauge configurations, see “Options” under Instrument Cluster (Base Level) 0 108 or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 109.
