Saturn 2008 Vue Automobile User Manual


 
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All information appears in the DIC display located in the
instrument panel cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC displays the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, outside
air temperature, compass information, and shift lever
position indicator.
To change the outside air temperature units from
English to metric, turn the reset stem on the instrument
panel cluster clockwise or counterclockwise until the
unit changes. This also changes the units displayed
in the navigation system, if your vehicle has this feature.
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/retailer. If an abnormal temperature reading is
displayed for an extended period of time, consult your
dealer/retailer. Under certain circumstances, especially
when the engine is idling, a delay updating the
temperature display is normal.
See Automatic Transmission Operation (Base) on
page 2-22 or Automatic Transmission Operation
(Uplevel) on page 2-25 for more information.
