Refueling The Vehicle; Resetting The Engine Oil Life System - Chevrolet AVALANCHE 2008 Getting To Know Manual

You may also have a CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message appear on the
DIC (if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they're cold. "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next vehi-
cle start-up, the DIC message will reap-
pear if the tire pressure has not been
corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle. This
could be an early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and need to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Refueling the Vehicle

To open the fuel door, press the center-
rear edge of the door and it will pop
open slightly. Pull the door to open it
fully.
When closing the fuel door, press the
rear edge of the door until it latches and
is flush with the side of the vehicle.
If the Tighten Gas Cap message is dis-
played on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), check that your fuel cap is prop-
erly installed. If the cap is not securely
fastened, turn it clockwise until a clicking
sound is heard, indicating that it is prop-
erly installed. The DIC message will turn
off after a few driving trips with the cap
properly installed.
See Sections 3 and 5 of your Owner Manual.
