The driver information center (DIC) displays the DIC WOW for 5 seconds when it first powers up. If enabled through Personalization, the DIC returns to the last display status before no power condition.

There are 7 switch functions for the DIC.

The trip/fuel information button is used to navigate between vehicle fuel information and trip options. Cycle through the following vehicle trip/fuel information by successive pressing of the driver information center (DIC) trip/fuel information button or use the Info Up/Info Down button to scroll through the DIC tripfuel information.

The driver information center (DIC) vehicle information switch is used to navigate between vehicle information options. Cycle through the following vehicle information by successive pressing of the vehicle information button or use the Info Up/Info Down button to scroll through the vehicle information switch.

The personalization switch is used to navigate between vehicle personalization options. Cycle through the following vehicle personalization options by successive pressing of the personalization button or use the Info Up/Info Down button to scroll through the personalization information.

For more information on vehicle personalization features, refer to the Owner's Manual.

Press the set/reset button in order to set or acknowledge any switch menu options.

Scroll through any selected driver information center (DIC) switch function by pressing Info Up/Info Down.

Average Fuel Economy

Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel

The engine control module (ECM) sends the average fuel economy GMLAN message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English units and metric units by selecting from the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

Average Vehicle Speed

Average vehicle speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = AVS Distance/AVS Time

Fuel Range

This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the IPC. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

The ECM sends the fuel range value to the IPC. IPC receives a GMLAN message with fuel information. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value.

Fuel Used

This message indicates the amount of fuel used since last reset. Fuel Used is calculated using the equation: Fuel Used = Fuel Sum.

The ECM sends the fuel used value to the IPC. The IPC receives a GMLAN message with the fuel information. The fuel used value is retained as long as battery power is available to the DIC. The fuel used value can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)

IFE is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.

The IPC receives a GMLAN message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The IFE display cannot be reset.

Trip Timer

The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing the SET/RESET switch for 1 second on the DIC resets the timer. Pressing the SET/RESET button on the DIC switch for approximately 1 second starts and stops the timer. The DIC displays the timer in one of the following formats:

The DIC displays the timer in the following format: XX: XX:XX:

The first XX represents hours elapsed, the second XX represents minutes elapsed, and the third XX represents seconds elapsed. The maximum range of the timer is 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. After the maximum range is reached, the timer displays all zeros (00:00:00).

Battery Voltage

Battery voltage data is not determined by the DIC and is not a resettable parameter. The DIC displays (- - -) when an invalid battery data is received or when the IPC experiences a loss GMLAN communications.

The Engine Oil Life Remaining displays the estimated percentage of oil life remaining. The engine control module (ECM) sends the oil life remaining percentage to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via GMLAN serial data message. The driver information center (DIC) displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System as determined by the ECM. When the engine oil life remaining percentage drops below 5 percent, the DIC displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message. When the engine oil is changed, reset the GM Oil Life System. Refer to GM Oil Life System Resetting .

The instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a GMLAN message from the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system for front and rear tire pressure data. The driver information center (DIC) will display the pressure for each of the front and rear tires. Tire pressure values are not resettable through the DIC.

The park assist menu is displayed in the driver information center (DIC) to indicate the ON/OFF status. The DIC displays the current state of the park assist until the instrument panel cluster (IPC) receives a message indicating a status change. The DIC displays (-- -- --) when communication with park assist is lost.

The key fob programming menu is used to initiate programming of the key fobs. The key fob programming menu can only be achieved with the vehicle transmission in PARK.

The English/Metric button is used to toggle between English and Metric unit systems and can be accessed through the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

The trip odometer A or B can be accessed through the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

The driver information center (DIC) is capable of displaying in the languages listed below. However, the DIC is capable of storing at least 3 different languages at any one time.

A simultaneous press of the DIC Information and Personalization switches for about 1 second provides a shortcut to change the language without understanding the currently displayed language. The Language settings may also be assessed through the DIC personalization switch.
