You can temporarily clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear 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. This could be
an early indicator that your tire pres-
sures are getting low and the tires 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.

Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit

Your vehicle does not have a spare tire
or a jack. In case of a flat tire, a tire
sealant and compressor kit is provided
to seal small punctures in the tread area
of the tire. The kit is located underneath
the driver-side storage tray in the rear
cargo area. Refer to the kit instructions
for complete operating information.
See your Hybrid Owner Manual.

Reset the Oil Life System

The Oil Life System calculates engine
oil life based on vehicle use and dis-
plays CHANGE ENGINE OIL in the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when
it's necessary to change your engine oil
and filter. The Oil Life System should be
reset to 100% only following an oil
change.
To reset the Oil Life System using the
DIC:
1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Press the
(Vehicle Information)
button until the DIC displays OIL LIFE
REMAINING.
3. Press and hold the
button until 100% is displayed.
4. Turn off the ignition.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Refueling the Vehicle

The fuel door is located on the driver's
side of the vehicle. Use regular unlead-
ed fuel with a minimum octane rating of
87. E85 fuel cannot be used.
• 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.
• To close the fuel door, press the rear
edge of the door until it latches and is
flush with the side of the vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Hybrid Service

All service and repair of the hybrid
components on your vehicle should be
performed only at a Chevrolet or GMC
dealership with hybrid-trained service
technicians. Non-hybrid service may be
performed at any Chevrolet or GMC
dealership.
Never try to do your own service on
hybrid components. You can be injured
and your vehicle can be damaged if you
try to do your own service work.
See your Hybrid Owner Manual.
