Driver Information
Center (DIC)
The DIC displays information about
your vehicle. It also displays warning
messages if a system problem is
detected. The DIC also allows some
features to be customized. See DIC
Vehicle Customization on page 4-31
for more information. All messages
will appear in the DIC display located
in the center of the instrument panel
cluster.
When the ignition is turned on, a
vehicle system check is performed
and the status is shown on the
DIC display. If there are no warnings
or service reminders, the display
shows a series of welcome screens.
When the ignition is turned off,
the odometer appears on the display
for a short period of time unless
a service reminder is active.
Active service reminders are
displayed for 10 seconds before
the odometer appears. The
odometer will reappear on the
display when the driver door is
opened. For more information on
the warnings and messages

on page 4-26.
