steering wheel on the instrument panel, near the air outlets.
INFO (Information): Pressing this button
up or down will display the MILES RANGE (Analog Cluster), MPG AVG, MPG INST, GAL FUEL
USED, AVG MPH, TIMER, BATTERY VOLTS, LF-RF-LR-RR TIRE (if equipped), RPM TACHOMETER
(Digital Cluster), ENGINE OIL LIFE, TRANS FLUID LIFE, PHONE (if equipped), FEATURE
PROGRAMMING and Blank Display.
INFO RESET: Pressing this button will reset the MPG AVG, GAL
FUEL USED, AVG MPH, TIMER, ENGINE OIL LIFE and TRANS FLUID LIFE. For more information

| • | MPG AVG (Average Miles Per Gallon): This message
shows the approximate fuel economy you have averaged since the last time you reset
the value. To reset the MPG AVG (Average Fuel Economy), press the INFO button to display
the MPG AVG, then press and hold the INFO RESET button until 0.0 MPG AVG is
displayed. |
| • | GAL (Gallons) FUEL USED: This message shows
how much fuel has been used since the last reset. To learn how much fuel is used from
a new starting point, press the RESET button while the GAL FUEL USED is displayed
in the DIC. |
| • | AVG MPH (Average Miles per Hour): This message
shows the average speed you have traveled at since the last time you reset the value.
To reset the value, press the INFO button to display AVG MPH, then press and hold
the INFO RESET button until 0.0 AVG MPH is displayed. |
| • | TIMER: This feature is like a stopwatch, in
that you can clock the time it takes to get from one point to another. |
| | To operate, press the INFO button to display TIMER. Each of the fields for the hours,
minutes and seconds are two numeric digits. |
| | Once TIMER 00:00:00 is displayed, press the ON/OFF button to start the

| • | ENGINE OIL LIFE: This message shows the percentage
of remaining oil life for your vehicle. When the oil life is depleted, the CHANGE
ENGINE OIL message will appear on the display. See
Engine Oil
and
Oil Life Indicator
.
In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance
is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See
Scheduled Maintenance
. To reset the engine oil life system, see
Engine Oil Life System
. This only needs to be reset
after you have had the oil changed. |
| • | TRANSMISSION FLUID LIFE: This message shows
the percentage of remaining transmission fluid life for your vehicle. Under normal
conditions, the rate of deterioration of the transmission fluid is slow. See
Scheduled Maintenance
for proper fluid and change intervals.
To reset the transmission fluid life, press the INFO button to display TRANS FLUID
LIFE, then press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100% TRANS FLUID LIFE
is displayed. This only needs to be reset after you have had the fluid changed. |
Pressing this button turns the Programming and Personalization
Features on and off. FEATURE PROGRAMMING must be displayed on the DIC to begin actual
programming. This button also starts and stops the timer.
MILES RANGE: (Analog Cluster only) This message shows about
how many miles you can drive without refilling your fuel tank. Once the range drops
below 40 miles (64 km) remaining, the display will show LOW.
MPG INST (Instantaneous Miles per Gallon): This message shows
the instantaneous fuel economy which varies with your driving conditions, such as
acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being traveled. The INFO RESET button
does not function in this mode.
BATTERY VOLTS: This message shows the current battery voltage.
If the voltage is normal, the display will show BATTERY VOLTS OK. If the voltage drops
below 10.5 volts, the display will show BATTERY VOLTS LOW. If the voltage is
above 16 volts, the display will show BATTERY VOLTS HIGH. If the display shows
the high or low message, you will need to have your battery checked. See
DIC Warnings and Messages
for more information.
LF-RF-LR-RR TIRE: On vehicles equipped with the tire pressure
monitor, this message shows the tire pressure for each tire (left front, right front,
left rear and right rear). Pressing the INFO button will scroll through the tire pressure
for each of the four tires, such as:
If a tire pressure is below 25 psi (172 kPa) or above 38 psi
(265 kPa), the message will appear as shown above except it will show TIRE
LOW or TIRE HIGH as appropriate. If desired, the tire pressure information can be
programmed not to appear when using the INFO button to scroll through the DIC displays.
See
DIC Vehicle Personalization
.
If a low or high tire pressure is detected by the system while driving, a CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE message will appear in the display. If this occurs, press the INFO button
to scroll to the tire(s) with a low or high pressure condition. See
DIC Warnings and Messages
for more information.
