The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. If your vehicle has the uplevel audio
system, the time and outside temperature will be shown on the first line of the display
and the DIC information will be shown on the second line of the display.
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by pressing the DIC buttons.
The button functions are detailed in the following.
Information Mode
INFO/ (Information): Press this button to scroll through
the vehicle information mode displays in the following order:
• | FUEL RANGE (Fuel Range Until Empty) |
• | ECON (Average Fuel Economy) |
• | AV SPEED (Average Vehicle Speed) |
• | OIL LIFE (Engine Oil Life System) |
TRIP A or TRIP B: Press the information button
until TRIP A or TRIP B is displayed. This shows the current distance
traveled since the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles or kilometers.
Both odometers can be used at the same time. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero
separately by pressing and holding the enter button for a few seconds while the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
FUEL RANGE: Press the information button until FUEL RANGE is
displayed. This shows the remaining distance you can drive without refueling. It is
based on fuel economy and the fuel remaining in the tank.
The fuel economy
data used to determine fuel range is an average of recent driving conditions. As your
driving conditions change, this data is gradually updated. Fuel range cannot be reset.
ECON (Economy): Press the information button until ECON is displayed.
Average fuel economy is how many miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers
your vehicle is getting based on current and past driving conditions.
Press and hold the enter button while ECON is displayed to reset the average fuel
economy. Average fuel economy will then be calculated starting from that point. If
the average fuel economy is not reset, it will be continually updated each time you
drive.
AV (Average) SPEED: Press the information button until AV SPEED
is displayed. This shows the vehicle's average speed in miles per hour or kilometers
per hour.
Press and hold the enter button while AV SPEED is displayed
to reset the average vehicle speed.
OIL LIFE: Press the information button until OIL LIFE
is displayed. The engine oil life system shows an estimate of the oil's remaining
useful life. It will show 100% when the system is reset after an oil change. It will
alert you to change your oil on a schedule consistent with your driving conditions.
Always reset the engine oil life system after an oil change. See "OIL
LIFE RESET" under
