Driver Information Center
(DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Cen-
ter (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display
located in the center of the instrument
panel cluster. The DIC buttons are located
on the center of the instrument panel.
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 displays trip, fuel, and vehicle sys-
tem information, and warning messages if
a system problem is detected. The top of
the DIC display shows the shift lever posi-
tion indicator. Refer to “Automatic Tran-
saxle Operation” in “Starting and
Operating Your Vehicle” in the “Features
and Controls” section for more information.
If your vehicle has this feature, the DIC
also displays the outside air temperature
when viewing the trip and fuel information.
If there is a problem with the system that
controls the temperature display, the num-
bers will be replaced with dashes. If this
occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer. If an abnormal temperature reading
is displayed for an extended period of time,
consult your dealer. Under certain circum-
stances, especially when the engine is
idling, a delay updating the temperature
display is normal.
The DIC also allows some features to be
personalized. Refer to “DIC Vehicle Per-
sonalization” in this section for more infor-
mation.
