Vehicle Information Display
The vehicle information display parameters are available to the driver
during the RUN power mode. The driver navigates through the various parameters
displayed on the driver information center (DIC) using the INFO Up and INFO
Down DIC buttons. Some parameters can be reset using the INFO RESET button.
Some parameters require information from other modules via class 2
serial data messages. If the instrument cluster (IPC) has not received data
for a parameter when the time has come to display the parameter, the IPC
will blank the data on the DIC. If the IPC has determined that a class 2
communication failure with one of the modules exists when the time has come
to display the parameter, the IPC will display dashes on the DIC.
The vehicle information display parameters are displayed in the following
order:
- Outside air temperature
- Fuel range
- Average fuel economy
- Instantaneous fuel economy
- Fuel used
- Average vehicle speed
- Timer
- Battery Voltage
- Engine oil life
- Transmission fluid life
- Cellular Telephone (w/UV8)
- Feature Programming
- Blank display
When the INFO Up button is pressed, the DIC will display the next parameter
on the list. When the INFO Down button is pressed, the DIC will display the
previous parameter on the list. When the blank display is currently being
displayed and the INFO Up button is pressed, the DIC will display the outside
temperature parameter.
Outside Air Temperature
The outside air temperature parameter value is supplied by the instrument
panel integration module (IPM) to the IPC via class 2 serial data
messages. The outside air temperature parameter cannot be reset by the driver.
The outside air temperature parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of
the following formats:
The XXX represents the supplied temperature value. The units of the
display will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting.
Fuel Range
The fuel range is the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel
under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions. The fuel range parameter
cannot be reset by the driver. The fuel range parameter is displayed on
the DIC in one of the following formats:
The XXX represents the calculated range value. The units of the display
will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting. The LOW RANGE message
is displayed when the range is calculated to be less than 64 km (40 miles).
Average Fuel Economy
The average fuel economy is a function of distance divided by fuel used
since the parameter was last reset. When the average fuel economy is displayed
on the DIC, pressing the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset the average
fuel economy parameter. The average fuel economy parameter is displayed
on the DIC in one of the following formats:
• | XX.X km/L AVG (Japan metric) |
The XX.X represents the calculated average fuel economy value. The units
of the display will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting.
The DIC will display 0.0 for the english and Japan metric modes and 99.9
for the normal metric mode when the parameter is reset.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy
The instantaneous fuel economy is a function of distance divided by
fuel used over a short period of time. The instantaneous fuel economy cannot
be reset by the driver. The instantaneous fuel economy parameter is displayed
on the DIC in one of the following formats:

The XX represents the calculated instantaneous fuel economy value. The
units of the display will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting.
The DIC will display 0 for the english and Japan metric modes and 99 for
the normal metric mode after the battery has been disconnected and then
reconnected.
Fuel Used
The fuel used parameter is the amount of fuel that has been used since
the last parameter reset. When the fuel used is displayed on the DIC, pressing
the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset the fuel used parameter. The
fuel used parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:
The XXX.X represents the calculated fuel used value. The units of the
display will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting. The DIC
will display a range from 0.0 to 99.9 GAL in the english mode and
from 0.0 to 999.9 L for the metric mode.
Average Vehicle Speed
The average vehicle speed is a function of the vehicle speed over the
time since the parameter was last reset. When the average vehicle speed is
displayed on the DIC, pressing the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset
the average vehicle speed parameter. The average vehicle speed parameter
is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:
The XXX.X represents the calculated average vehicle speed value. The
units of the display will correspond to the current instrument cluster setting.
Timer
The timer is used to record elapsed time. When the timer is displayed
on the DIC, pressing the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset the timer.
The timer is started and stopped by pressing the ON/OFF button on the DIC.
The timer is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:
The first XX represents hours elapsed, the second XX represents minutes
elapsed, and the third XX presents seconds elapsed. The ON or OFF is a fixed
display on the DIC and indicated whether the timer is currently running.
The maximum range of the timer is 99 hours, 59 minutes, and
59 seconds. After the maximum range is reached, timer will roll-over
and display all zeros (00:00:00).
Battery Voltage
The battery voltage parameter value is supplied by the dash integration
module (DIM) to the IPC via class 2 serial data messages. The battery
voltage parameter cannot be reset by the driver. The timer is displayed
on the DIC in one of the following formats:
• | XX.X BATTERY VOLTS HIGH |
The XX.X represents the supplied battery voltage value. The battery
voltage value will range between 0.0 and 17.0 volts. When the battery
voltage is less than 10.5 volts for 30 seconds, the BATTERY
VOLTS LOW will be displayed. When the battery voltage is greater than 16.2 volts
for 30 seconds, the BATTERY VOLTS HIGH will be displayed.
Engine Oil Life
The engine oil life parameter is calculated by the powertrain control
module (PCM) and the information is provide to the IPC via class 2
serial data messages. When the engine oil life is displayed on the DIC,

Cellular Telephone
An integrated cellular telephone is an available vehicle option. When
equipped, the cellular telephone displays are integrated into the instrument
cluster to allow the display of phone status information on the DIC. The
telephone displays on the DIC are intended to resemble the information displayed
on the cellular telephone handset, so the driver can perform hands-free
operation of the cellular telephone. The IPC and cellular telephone communicate
via class 2 serial data messages. The IPC control the information
on the DIC and driver warning messages will interrupt telephone displays
because of a higher priority.
Most cellular telephone displays on the DIC are displayed due to requests
by the cellular telephone via class 2 serial data messages. The following
