Driver Information Center
The optional Driver Information Center (DIC) is used in order to display
alpha-numeric information to the driver and provide a method of displaying
select vehicle information upon request. The DIC is a two line, 32 character,
Vacuum Fluorescent display. The DIC replaces the odometer in the base cluster.
The DIC operates in 7 basic modes. These modes are a logical
grouping of the following information types:
• | Fuel Information Display |
• | Gage Information Display |
• | Personalization Selections |
• | Driver Identifier Display |
The general mode of operation is selected by the driver by pressing
one of the 5 up-level buttons.
The default message for the DIC is the odometer unless changed by the
driver during normal operation.
All DIC functions are shown regardless of the transmission position
except for the personalization functions. They are suppressed once the transmission
is shifted out of the Park position.
If a loss of class 2 communication occurs with all devices, the
DIC will display odometer information only. If the IPC does not communicate
with a particular device, information from that device will not be displayed
or the value of the display will be dashed (---).
