Base Level DIC

The Driver Information Center (DIC) control buttons and the message display screen are located above the radio. The DIC gives important safety and maintenance facts concerning the vehicle. The status of many of the vehicle's systems along with driver personal programming mode menus and warning messages about the vehicle's systems may display on the DIC screen.

The vehicle's transaxle position will also appear.

The buttons on the base level are trip odometer, set/reset and options.

Trip Odometer

(Trip Odometer): Press this button to access the odometer and trip distance modes.

The first menu on the DIC screen will be the odometer reading, or cumulative mileage of the vehicle. The odometer cannot be reset.

Press the trip odometer button to advance to the next menu.

Trip Distances: This menu shows the distances that the vehicle has driven between specific points. The trip odometer will record the number of miles up to 9,999.9 miles or 9 999.9 km travelled for up to two trips. When 9,999.9 miles or 9 999.9 km is reached for either trip, the odometer for that trip will go back to zero.

Press the trip odometer button again to access TRIP A. Press the trip odometer button again to access TRIP B. To reset the trip odometer(s) back to zero miles or kilometers, access the trip to reset and press the set/reset button.

The trip odometer has a feature called the retro-active reset. This can be used to set the trip odometer to the number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition was last turned on. This can be used if the trip odometer was not reset at the beginning of the trip.

To use the retro-active reset feature, press and hold the set/reset button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer will display the number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition was last turned on and the vehicle began moving. Once the vehicle has begun moving, the trip odometer will accumulate mileage. For example, if the vehicle was driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) before the vehicle is started again, and then the retro-active reset feature is activated, the display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km). As the vehicle begins moving, the display will increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.

If the retro-active reset feature is activated after the vehicle is started, but before it begins moving, the display will show the number of miles or kilometers that were driven during the last ignition cycle.

Press the trip odometer button again to access the odometer.

Uplevel DIC with Trip Computer

The Driver Information Center (DIC) control buttons and the message display screen are located above the radio. The DIC gives important safety and maintenance facts concerning the vehicle. The status of many of the vehicle's systems along with driver personalization menus and warning messages about the vehicle's systems may display on the DIC screen.

The outside temperature automatically appears on the bottom right corner of the DIC display screen. If the outside temperature is below 38°F (3°C), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the outside temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is a problem with the system that controls the temperature display, the letters OC (Open Circuit) or SC (Short Circuit) will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.

The vehicle's transaxle position, and the direction the vehicle is traveling will also appear on the DIC screen.

The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to manually set the compass. However, under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to compensate for compass variance and reset the zone through the DIC. See "Setting the Compass" later in this section for more information.

The buttons on the DIC trip computer are gages, trip odometer, set/reset, options and fuel.

Gages

To use the retro-active reset feature, press and hold the set/reset button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer will display the number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition was last turned on and the vehicle was moving. Once the vehicle begins moving, the trip odometer will accumulate mileage. For example, if the vehicle was driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) before it is started again, and then the retro-active reset feature is activated, the display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km). As the vehicle begins moving, the display will then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.

Average Speed: The average speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). The average speed is calculated from the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this menu item. To reset the average speed, press the set/reset button. The display will return to zero.

Press the trip odometer button again to advance to the next screen.

Time Elapsed: This screen can be used as a stopwatch. The display can show the hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second. The elapsed time indicator will record up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds, then it will reset to zero and continue counting.

To set the time elapsed function use the following procedures:

COMPASS CALIBRATION MODE:

Setting the Compass

The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to manually set the compass.

However, under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to compensate for compass variance and reset the zone through the DIC.

Compass variance is the difference between the earth's magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass in the vehicle could give false readings.

In order to do this, the compass must be set or calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle is travelling.

To adjust for compass variance use the following procedure:

Find the vehicle's current location and variance zone number on the map.

Press the set/reset button to scroll through and select the appropriate variance zone.
Press the options button to advance to the calibration screen.
Drive the vehicle in a circle two times to activate the compass.

The direction the vehicle is moving will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen, and will appear in the gages, fuel, trip, and some of the options modes.

Press the options button again to advance to the next screen.

Fuel

(Fuel): Press this button to access the Average Fuel Economy, Instantaneous Fuel Economy, and Fuel Range modes.

AVG ECONOMY (Average Fuel Economy): This screen will display the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset.

To view the average fuel economy for the vehicle follow this procedure:

Press the set/reset button to reset to zero.
Press the fuel button again to advance to the next screen.

INST ECONOMY (Instantaneous Fuel Economy): This screen displays the current fuel economy at a particular moment and will change frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy, this screen cannot be reset.

Press the fuel button again to advance to the next screen.

RANGE: This screen displays the approximate number of remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be driven without refueling. This estimate is based on the average fuel economy for the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank and the current driving conditions. This estimate will change if driving conditions change. For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway the number may change even though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving.

If the fuel tank contains less than 2 gallons (7.6 L), the LOW FUEL message will appear on the DIC screen. Fill the fuel tank as soon as possible to avoid running out of fuel. See "Low Fuel" under DIC Warnings and Messages .
