Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays information such as the trip odometer, personalization features, and warning messages. The DIC display is located on the instrument panel cluster.
DIC Operation and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on when the ignition is on.
If a problem is detected, a warning message appears on the display. Pressing and releasing the trip odometer reset stem on the DIC acknowledges some current warnings or service messages. Some messages only clear after the required action has been taken.
The DIC has different menu items which can be accessed by pressing the trip odometer reset stem on the DIC. This includes trip information, such as the odometer and trip odometer, engine oil life reset, and personalization features that are explained in the following information. The DIC trip odometer reset stem is located on the instrument panel cluster next to the
DIC display.
