Vehicle Information Display
The vehicle information display parameters are available to the driver when
the ignition is in the RUN position. The driver navigates through the various parameters
displayed on the driver information center (DIC) using the INFO Up and INFO Down
buttons. Some parameters can be reset by briefly pressing the INFO RESET button.
Some parameters require information from other modules. 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 display 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:
- RANGE
- MPG AVG
- MPG INST
- FUEL USED
- AVG MPH
- TIMER
- BATTERY VOLTS
- TIRE PRESSURE
- TACHOMETER
- ENGINE OIL LIFE
- TRANS FLUID LIFE
- PHONE
- 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.
RANGE

is part of the instrument panel cluster display and is not displayed on the DIC.
On vehicles equipped w/UY9, 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 IPC setting. The LOW RANGE message is displayed when the
range is calculated to be less than 64 km (40 miles). The fuel range
parameter cannot be reset by the driver.
MPG AVG
The average fuel economy is the distance travelled divided by the fuel used
since the parameter was last reset. On vehicles equipped w/U02, the average fuel
economy parameter is also part of the IPC display. The average fuel economy parameter
is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:

used over a short period of time. The instantaneous fuel economy parameter is displayed
on the DIC in one of the following formats:
• | XX km/L INST (Japan metric -- w/UY9) |
The XX represents the calculated instantaneous fuel economy value. The units
of the display will correspond to the current IPC setting. The instantaneous fuel
economy parameter cannot be reset by the driver. The DIC will display 0 for the
English mode, 0 for the Japan mode, and 99 for the 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
parameter was last reset. 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 IPC 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. When FUEL USED is displayed on the DIC, briefly pressing the INFO RESET button
on the DIC will reset the fuel used parameter.
AVG MPH
The average vehicle speed is the vehicle speed over the time since the parameter
was last reset. 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 IPC. When AVG MPH is displayed on
the DIC, briefly pressing the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset the average
vehicle speed parameter.
TIMER
The timer is used to record elapsed time. The timer is displayed on the DIC
in one of the following formats:

and the third XX presents seconds elapsed. ON or OFF is a fixed display on the DIC
and indicates whether the timer is currently running. The timer is started and stopped
by pressing the ON/OFF button on the DIC. The maximum range of the timer is 99 hours,
59 minutes, and 59 seconds. After the maximum range is reached, the
timer will reset and display all zeros (00:00:00). When TIMER is displayed on the
DIC, briefly pressing the INFO RESET button on the DIC will reset the timer.
BATTERY VOLTS

engine speed, between 0 and 7000 RPM. The engine RPM is calculated by a discrete
signal sent to the IPC from the powertrain control module (PCM).
The tachometer is displayed as XXXX RPM TACHOMETER. The XXXX represents
the calculated engine RPM value. The tachometer cannot be reset by the driver.
ENGINE OIL LIFE
The engine oil life parameter is calculated by the PCM via class 2
serial data messages. The engine oil life is displayed as XXX% ENGINE OIL
LIFE. The XXX represents the calculated engine oil life value. The value will range

calculated transmission fluid life value. The value will range between 100% and
0%. Once the transmission fluid has been changed, perform the transmission fluid
monitor reset procedure.
PHONE
An integrated cellular telephone is an available vehicle option. When equipped,
the cellular telephone displays are integrated into the IPC 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 cellular
telephone provides the information to the IPC via class 2 serial data messages.
During phone digit dialing, the display will include up to 14 digits.
The digits will start at the far right of the display and scroll from right to
left as more digits are dialed. When the CLEAR button of the telephone handset is
pressed, the last digit pressed will be deleted from the telephone handset and the
DIC display.
