Getting to Know Your
Canyon
4
Driver Information Center
Your vehicle’s Driver Information Center
(DIC) is located on the instrument panel
cluster. It features a message center
that can display information such as the
trip odometer, vehicle personalization
features and a number of messages or
warnings.
The odometer is automatically displayed
when the engine is started, and shows
the total distance the vehicle has been
driven in either miles or kilometers.
To scroll through the various DIC
modes
• Press and release the control stem
located on the DIC.
To display trip odometer information
• Press and hold the control stem for
four seconds.
The display shows the distance traveled
since you last set the trip odometer to
zero.
GM Oil Life System
This system calculates the estimated
percentage of the engine oil’s remaining
useful life and alerts you through the
DIC when it’s time to change the oil by
displaying CHANGE OIL. Please
remember to always reset the oil life
system after an oil change.
Reset the oil life system
• Press and hold the control stem for
more than two seconds while OIL
LIFE is displayed.
When completed, the system will reset
and a beep will sound.
Selecting a Language
To select the DIC language:
1. With the engine Off, turn the key to On.
2. Close all doors.
3. Press and release the reset stem
until LANGUAGE is displayed.
4. To view each available language,
press and hold the reset stem for
two seconds.
5. Once the desired language is dis-
played, briefly press the reset stem
to set your choice.
Warnings and Messages
The following are examples of some of
the warnings or messages that may
appear in the DIC. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible:
• BRAKE FLUID
(Brake fluid may be low)
• BRAKE SYSTEM
(Service the brake system)
• ABS (Brake system operates
normally without the antilock brake
system benefit)
Note:
The oil life system does not
replace the need to follow the mainte-
nance schedule in the Owner Manual,
and will not detect dusty conditions or
engine malfunctions that may affect the
oil. It also does not measure how much
oil is in the engine. For full engine oil
information, see Section 5 of your
Owner Manual.
