Overview
Description
Driver Information Center displays vehicle and engine parameters
received from the SAE J1708/J1587 engine data bus. The parameters
are displayed on a two-line by twenty character, back lit liquid crystal
display (LCD) while the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off,
Driver Information Center goes to ‘sleep’ and blanks the LCD. When
asleep, Driver Information Center keeps the clock running and monitors
the alarm. When the ignition is turned on again, Driver Information
Center ‘wakes up’, turns on the LCD and displays the same function
menu and field as was displayed before the ignition was turned off.Four
tactile keys allow the user to toggle and scroll through the vehicle and
engine parameters, set the time and the alarm, and start, stop or reset
any of the six Trips.
Note:
- Engine and vehicle parameters are only displayed by the
Driver Information Center, they cannot be modified.
