Center (DIC)

Your vehicle has a Driver
Information Center (DIC).

All messages will appear in the DIC
display below the speedometer in
the instrument cluster. The DIC
buttons are on the instrument panel,
to the right of the instrument cluster.

The DIC comes on when the ignition
is on. After a short delay, the DIC
will display the information that was
last displayed before the engine
was turned off.

The DIC displays trip, fuel, and
vehicle system information, and
warning messages if a system
problem is detected. The bottom line
of the DIC shows the shift lever

If equipped, the DIC also displays
the compass direction and the
outside air temperature when
viewing the trip and fuel information.

The compass direction appears on
the top right corner of the DIC
display. The outside air temperature
automatically appears in the bottom
right corner of the DIC display.
If there is a problem with the system
that controls the temperature
display, the numbers will be
replaced with dashes. If this occurs,
have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer.
