Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
This display normally shows instantaneous fuel
economy. When the vehicle is in Auto Stop mode AUTO
STOP or IFE = 99 MPG (l/00km) will be displayed. See

DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the DIC to notify
the driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver to
correct the condition. If there is more than one message
that needs to be displayed they will appear one after
another.
Some messages may not require immediate action, but
you can press any of the DIC buttons on the instrument
panel to acknowledge that you received the messages
and to clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be cleared.
You should take any messages that appear on the
display seriously and remember that clearing the
messages will only make the messages disappear, not
correct the problem.
For information on other DIC messages, see “ DIC
Warnings and Messages ” in the owner manual Index.
HOOD OPEN
If the hood is not fully closed or there is a problem with
the hood switch, this message will be displayed. Close
the hood to clear the message. If the HOOD OPEN
message continues to be displayed after verifying the
hood is closed, you should have the hood switch
serviced. Failure to service the hood switch properly
can result in an Auto Start condition.
Auto Stops will be disabled when this message is
displayed. If the vehicle is in auto stop mode when this
message appears, the engine will instantly start.
