2006 Chevrolet Uplander Owner's Manual - Page 196

Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have left when the ignition is on. Here are four things some owners ask about. All these things are normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage. Driver Information Center (DIC) Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC). All messages will appear in the DIC display located in the instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer. The DIC buttons are located on the center of the instrument panel, below the center outlets. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2) if a personalized key 1 or 2 is used, and then the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, fuel economy, trip computer, vehicle system information, and compass display, if equipped. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected. In addition, the DIC displays phone numbers that are called using the OnStar® system, if equipped. See OnStar® System on page 2-42. • At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. • It takes a little more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage reads. For example, the gage read half full, but it took more (or less) than half of the tank's capacity to fill it. • The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking or speeding up. • The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition is turned off. Low Fuel Warning Light The light next to the fuel gage will come on briefly when you are starting the engine. This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank. 3-46
