Getting to Know Your VUE
4
Driver Information Center
Your vehicle’s Driver Information
Center (DIC) displays the odometer, trip
odometers, outside air temperature, com-
pass information, and shift lever position
indicator. The DIC information is shown
on the instrument panel cluster display.
To access DIC features, use the reset
button located on the lower-right side of
the instrument panel cluster.
Units
To change the outside air temperature
from English to Metric, turn the reset
button to the right or left until the unit
changes. This also changes the units
displayed in the navigation system
(if equipped).
Odometer/Trip Odometers
Press and release the reset button to
display the odometer, Trip A or Trip B. To
reset a trip odometer, press and hold the
reset button while the trip odometer is
displayed.
Compass Variance
At times, such as during a long-distance
cross-country trip, it may be necessary
to adjust for compass variance by reset-
ting the compass zone through the DIC.
See your Owner Manual for the proper
adjustment procedure.
Compass Calibration
If C appears in the DIC display, the
compass should be calibrated. Only
calibrate the compass in a magnetically
clean and safe location, such as an
open parking lot.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Make sure the compass is set to the
correct variance zone.
2. Press the reset button until the C
starts flashing.
3. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at
less than 5 mph to complete the
calibration. When the calibration is
complete, the vehicle heading (for
example, N for North) will display
instead of the C.
Warning Lights
The instrument panel cluster features
a variety of vehicle warning lights
(depending on optional equipment) that
will illuminate if a problem is sensed in a
vehicle system.
If you have a current OnStar subscrip-
tion, and a warning light appears, you
can press the OnStar button and speak
to an OnStar Advisor. In many vehicles,
OnStar Advisors can access certain
diagnostic information and can tell you
how serious the problem is and what
you should do about it.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Note: Your vehicle’s warning lights pro-
vide critical information that can prevent
damage to your vehicle. Review your
Owner Manual to become familiar with
the information and the action required.
