Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle may have a Driver Information Center
(DIC) located on the overhead console. The DIC
displays the outside air temperature, compass direction
and trip information in the overhead console. The
DIC buttons are located to the left of the display.
US/MET (United States/Metric): The US/MET button
allows you to switch the display between the English and
metric system.
ON/OFF: The ON/OFF button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
Modes of Operation
Press the ON/OFF button to toggle between the
following modes of operation:
OFF: No driver information is displayed in this mode of
operation.
COMP/TEMP (Compass/Temperature): This display
shows the outside temperature and one of eight
compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the ICE and the current temperature
every eight seconds. This is a warning to the driver that
road conditions may be icy, and that appropriate
precautions should be taken.
See “Compass Variance” later in this section for more
information.
TRIP: In the TRIP mode, pressing the ON/OFF button
cycles through the five TRIP displays. See “Trip
Computer” later in this section for more information.
