The driver information center (DIC) uses the following switches in order to navigate through the information displays:

The ON/OFF button is used in order to turn the DIC display ON and OFF. Holding the ON/OFF button for greater than 3 seconds toggles the IPC and the DIC displays between English and metric units. The DIC sends a class 2 message to the IPC indicating the current setting, and the km/h indicator or the MPH indicator illuminates in the IPC accordingly. The DIC displays either ENGLISH MODE or METRIC MODE for 2 seconds.

The RESET button is used in conjunction with the other switches in order to reset system functions.

The SELECT DOWN button is used in order to navigate through the information located in the displays.

The SELECT RIGHT button is used in order to navigate through the following list of displays:

Fuel Range

The fuel range is the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel without refueling. This calculation is based on the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions from the previous 40 km (25 mi) of driving. The IPC receives class 2 messages from the PCM indicating the fuel level percent and the fuel capacity, and the IPC uses the distance information calculated for the odometer display for the values in the equation. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the DIC indicating the fuel range. The fuel range parameter is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ### represent the calculated fuel range value. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The fuel range cannot be reset by the driver. When the fuel range is less than 64 km (40 mi), the DIC displays LOW FUEL RANGE. The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of a fuel range value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the IPC.

Fuel Used

The fuel used is the amount of fuel used since the fuel used parameter was last reset. The PCM monitors the fuel level sensor signal circuit to determine the amount of fuel used. The DIC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel used. The fuel used parameter is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ###.# represent the fuel used value. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of a fuel used value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the IPC. The fuel used is reset by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the fuel used message is displayed.

Average Fuel Economy

The average fuel economy is a function of the distance traveled divided by the fuel used since the average fuel economy parameter was last reset. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel used, and the IPC uses the distance information calculated for the odometer display for the values in the equation. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the DIC indicating the average fuel economy. The average fuel economy parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ##.# represent the calculated average fuel economy value. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The average fuel economy is reset by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the average fuel economy message is displayed. The DIC displays 0.0 MPG for the English mode and 99.9  L/100KM for the metric mode when the parameter is reset.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy

The instantaneous fuel economy is a function of distance divided by fuel used over a short period of time. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the fuel used, and the IPC uses the distance information calculated for the odometer display for the values in the equation. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the DIC indicating the instantaneous fuel value. The instantaneous fuel economy parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ## represent the calculated instantaneous fuel economy value. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The instantaneous fuel economy cannot be reset by the driver.

Oil Life Index

The oil life parameter is calculated by the powertrain control module (PCM), and the information is provided to the DIC via class 2 messages. The oil life parameter is displayed on the DIC in the following format:

OIL LIFE ###%

The ### represent the calculated oil life value. The value ranges between 100% and 0%. The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of an oil life index value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM. The oil life is reset to 100% by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the oil life index message is displayed.

Battery Voltage

The DIM monitors battery voltage and sends class 2 messages to the DIC indicating the battery voltage. The battery voltage parameter is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ##.# represent the battery voltage as determined by the DIM. The battery voltage cannot be reset by the driver.

Oil Pressure

The PCM monitors the oil pressure sensor and sends class 2 messages to the DIC indicating the oil pressure. The oil pressure parameter is displayed on the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ### represents the oil pressure value as determined by the PCM. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of an oil pressure value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM. The oil pressure cannot be reset by the driver.

Tire Pressure Status

The tire pressure parameter is displayed on the DIC as determined by the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The tire pressure is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:

The DIC displays TIRE PRESSURE LOW when the DIC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM indicating a low tire pressure condition. The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of a tire pressure status if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the EBCM. The tire pressure monitoring system is reset by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the tire pressure status message is displayed.

Average Speed

The IPC calculates the average speed and sends a class 2 message to the DIC indicating the average speed. The average speed is displayed in the DIC in one of the following formats:

The ### represent the average speed value as determined by the IPC. The units of the display correspond to the current IPC setting (English/metric). The DIC displays -- -- -- instead of an average speed value if the DIC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the IPC. The average speed parameter is reset by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the average speed message is displayed.

Date

The DIC displays the date and sends a class 2 message to the radio indicating the time. The radio displays the time. The DIC displays the date in the following format:

Day of week, month, day of month

The month is spelled out while the common abbreviated spelling is used for the day of the week. In order to reset the date, perform the following steps:

1. Press the RESET button while the date is displayed.
2. YEAR? will display with the current year setting flashing. Press the SELECT RIGHT button in order to increment the year by one or press the SELECT DOWN button in order to decrement the year by one.
3. Press the RESET button again in order to change the month.
4. MONTH? will display with the current month setting flashing. Press the SELECT RIGHT button in order to increment the month by one or press the SELECT DOWN button in order to decrement the month by one.
5. Press the RESET button again in order to change the day of the month.
6. DAY? will display with the current day setting flashing. Press the SELECT RIGHT button in order to increment the day by one or press the SELECT DOWN button in order to decrement the day by one.

The DIC displays CONFIRM TIME & DATE if the radio requests a time update or if the battery has been disconnected. The message is turned off by pressing the RESET button. The last known date is then displayed.

Elapsed Time (ET)

The elapsed time shows the amount of time since the last reset. The DIC displays the elapsed time in the following format:

HR:MN ELAPSED TIME

The HR:MN represent the elapsed time in hours and minutes since the last reset. The maximum time is 99:59. The timer does not add time with the vehicle off. The timer may be started or stopped by pressing the RESET button. The time is reset by pressing the RESET button for greater than 3 seconds while the elapsed time message is displayed.

Personalization features may be set for the vehicle or the driver. Vehicle features do not change with each driver. Specific drivers are recognized by the vehicle through the keyless entry transmitters, the memory buttons, or the driver information center (DIC).
