Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC
is also used to display warning/status messages.
All messages will appear in the DIC display located
at the bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below
the tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons
are located on the instrument panel, to the left of
the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display the current
driver and the information that was last displayed
before the engine was turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status
messages. The bottom line of the DIC display
shows either the odometer, the trip odometer A or
the trip odometer B information on the left side.
Only one odometer can appear at a time. See “Trip
Information” under DIC Controls and Displays
on page 258 for information on changing the
display to show the odometer or trip odometer
information. The bottom line of the DIC display
also shows the outside temperature on the
right side and the shift lever position indicator in
the center. See Automatic Transmission Operation
on page 116 for more information on the shift
lever positions.
When the sport mode is active, an S will appear
next to the shift position indicator on the center of
the DIC display. When the manual mode is
active, an M will appear on the DIC display. When
the normal mode is active, only the shift position
indicator will appear. While the Driver Shift
Control (DSC) feature is active, the DIC will
change to show the selected gear. See “Driver
Shift Control (DSC)” under Automatic Transmission
Operation on page 116 for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously and
remember that clearing the message will only make
the message disappear, not correct the problem.
DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different
modes which can be accessed by pressing
the four DIC buttons located on the instrument
panel, to the left of the steering wheel.
