The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you important safety and maintenance
facts. When you turn the ignition on, all of the DIC lights illuminate for a few seconds.
After this, the DIC will begin working.
Functions
(Door Ajar): If one of the doors is ajar, this light
will appear next to that door on the vehicle outline.
CHANGE OIL SOON: This light will appear when the system indicates
that it's time for an oil change. The system predicts remaining oil life using data
from length of drives, coolant temperature, engine rpm and vehicle speed. It alerts
you to change the oil on a schedule consistent with the vehicle's driving conditions.
After changing the oil, the system must be reset. See
