GMC 2008 Acadia - Manual (Page 206)

To use the retro-active reset feature, press and hold
the trip odometer reset stem for at least four seconds.
The trip odometer will display the number of miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) driven since the ignition was last
turned on and the vehicle was moving. Once the
vehicle begins moving, the trip odometer will accumulate
mileage. For example, if the vehicle was driven
5 miles (8 km) before it is started again, and then
the retro-active reset feature is activated, the display
will show 5 miles (8 km). As the vehicle begins moving,
the display will then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is activated after
the vehicle is started, but before it begins moving,
the display will show the number of miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) that were driven during the last
ignition cycle.
OIL LIFE
To access this display, the vehicle must be in PARK (P).
Press the trip odometer reset stem until OIL LIFE
REMAINING displays. This display shows an estimate
of the oil’s remaining useful life. If you see 99% OIL LIFE
REMAINING on the display, that means 99% of the
current oil life remains. The engine oil life system
will alert you to change the oil on a schedule consistent
with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the
display. See “CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-66. You should
change the oil as soon as you can. See Engine Oil
on page 5-15. In addition to the engine oil life system
monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this
manual. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4
for more information.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE display
yourself after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE display
accidentally at any time other than when the oil has
just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until
the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system,
see Engine Oil Life System on page 5-18.
PARK ASSIST
To access this display, the vehicle must be in PARK (P).
If your vehicle has the Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA) system, press the trip odometer reset
stem until PARK ASSIST displays. This display
allows the system to be turned on or off. Once in this
display, press and hold the trip odometer reset stem
to select between ON or OFF. If you choose ON,
the system will be turned on. If you choose OFF,
the system will be turned off. The URPA system
automatically turns back on after each vehicle start.
