Agree with the above but would add if you stay in this mode for any length of time try and be hooked up to a battery maintainer while doing this.

Turn on DIC display
Just bought a '13 1LT and want to turn on the DIC display without starting the engine. Looked in the owners manual but couldn't find any info. Tried forum info suggesting pushing start button without pushing on the brake pedal but the diplay told me to press brake. Pushing the accessory button only turns on the radio. 
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

this is good advice because I have had to get a boost a couple of times because I did this while detailing the car (to listen to music)

I wanted to spend some time personalizing the "options" while reading about them in the owners manual. I also saw on this forum to look at the voltage readings with engine off when diagnosing electrical problems.
By the way, I'll bite...how do you check the odometer with the parking lights?
If you folks have any other tidbits of "howto" info that aren't in the C6 manual I'd appreciate them.
Thanks again for the help.

Under $10 at most key shops. Tell 'em to use key blank B-106 (same as a Saturn). Be sure to try the key, make sure it actually works.

Thanks for the thread info and the thumbs up. The key sounds like cheap insurance, I'll do that.
Increased my driving experience enjoyment yesterday...found a person locally that had a transparent roof for sale. It changes the whole perspective.
