2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Malfunction Indicator Lamp
Located In the instrument panel, this lamp illuminates under a variety of conditions when the On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II) system detects a malfunction in the vehicle’s emission controls. If it is lit steadily, check the gas cap to ensure that it is present and securely fastened. Turn it clockwise until a “ratcheting” sound is heard, signaling that it is secure. If this is the cause of the condition, a few driving trips with the cap installed properly should turn the light off.

2004 Oldsmobile Bravada Driver Information Center
The DIC features a message center that can display trip information, fuel economy information, personalization features and other messages or warnings. The DIC display is located above the steering wheel on the instrument cluster, and can be programmed in six languages. To access the various DIC modes, press one of the following DIC buttons located on the steering wheel:

A. Trip Information Button: Press this button to access each of the odometer, TRIP A, TRIP B and TIMER functions. To reset either trip odometer to zero, access it on the DIC and press the Select button for one second.

B. Fuel Information Button: Press this button to access each of the range, average fuel economy, instant fuel economy and GM Oil Life System.

RANGE estimates the remaining distance you can drive without refueling. It is based on recent fuel economy and remaining fuel. AVG. ECON calculates how many miles per gallon you are getting based on overall driving conditions over the previous 500 miles. Press and hold the Select button while it is displayed and the DIC will begin calculating average fuel economy from that point in time.

INST. ECON calculates miles per gallon being returned at a particular moment. ENGINE OIL LIFE shows the estimated percentage of the oil’s remaining useful life calculated by the GM Oil Life SystemTM. This feature alerts you when it’s time to change the oil by illuminating the CHANGE ENG. OIL light on the instrument panel. Please remember to always reset the oil life system after an oil change by pressing and holding the Select/Reset button for four seconds while ENGINE OIL LIFE is displayed. When successful, the DIC displays ENGINE OIL LIFE: 100%.

Your vehicle features an automatic door lock/unlock feature with a choice of four features, as well as automatic door lockout prevention to prevent locking the keys in the vehicle.
