When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the DIC will display the following:

PONTIAC: PONTIAC will be displayed for three seconds.

DRIVER #: This message will be displayed for three seconds after PONTIAC appears in the display. This message lets you know which remote keyless entry and customization features the vehicle is using.

The DIC controls are located to the right of the instrument panel cluster.

The DIC will be in the last mode displayed when the engine was turned off. To select a different mode, press MODE. The display will cycle through its options at each press of MODE.

MODE: This button lets you cycle through the options on the display.

The DIC will always display the compass reading and the outside temperature. If the temperature is below 38°F (3°C), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the temperature and the word ICE for two minutes.

AVG ECONOMY (Average Economy): Average fuel economy is viewed as a long term approximation of your overall driving conditions. To learn the average fuel economy from a new starting point, press and hold the SET button while the average fuel economy is displayed on the DIC. The average fuel economy will set to zero.

INST ECONOMY (Instant Economy): Instant fuel economy varies with your driving conditions, such as acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being traveled.

FUEL RANGE: The fuel range is an estimated distance that your vehicle can travel on the remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate the range is based on your driving history since the last reset of the average speed.

FUEL USED: The fuel used display will show you how much fuel has been used since the last time it was reset. To reset the fuel used to zero, press and hold the SET button while the fuel used is displayed on the DIC and until the display goes to zero.

AVG SPEED (Average Speed): The average speed display will show your average speed from when you first started your vehicle. To reset the average speed, press and hold the SET button while the average speed is displayed on the DIC and until the speed resets to your current speed.

OIL LIFE LEFT HOLD SET TO RESET: This message displays the current percentage of the oil life by the GM Oil Life System. To reset the oil life, press and hold the SET button while this message is displayed. When the system is reset 100% will be displayed and the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message on the message center will go off.

TIRE PRESSURE: The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large change in the pressure of one tire. You must begin driving before the system will detect a low tire pressure.

USE SET TO SELECT ENGLISH METRIC: You can use this display to select English or metric. Press the SET button to toggle between English or metric. The odometer, trip odometer, and head-up display (HUD), if equipped, will also change. A Canadian odometer and trip odometer will remain in metric units only.

OFF: No driver information will be displayed in this mode. If the DIC is left in this mode for more than three seconds, the display will turn off. Press the MODE button to start the DIC.
