Driver Information
Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver
Information Center (DIC).
The DIC displays information about
your vehicle. It also displays warning
messages if a system problem is
detected.
All messages will appear in the DIC
display located at the top of the
instrument panel 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 also displays a shift lever
position indicator on the bottom
line of the display. See Automatic
Transmission Operation on
page 2-24 for more information.
The outside air temperature
and compass, if equipped, also
displays on the DIC when viewing
the trip and fuel information.
The outside air temperature
automatically appears in the top
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. The compass
will be shown in the bottom right
corner of the DIC display. See DIC
Compass on page 3-56 for more
information.
