My car has been alt deleted since March 2011.

Check your "current trip" timeout setting. It can be adjusted, probably up to 99 minutes if you wanted. If your EOC is longer than the timeout the SG display will go off. One press of the "Home" button in bottom right corner will start it up when needed.

The SG is designed to come on when it detects the voltage increase when the alternator comes to life. Without an alt you can always wake it up with the home button.
