Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
information about how your vehicle is functioning, as well
as warning messages if a system problem is detected. The
DIC display area is located in the instrument cluster below
the speedometer and tachometer, directly above the
steering column.
The following buttons are on the DIC control panel which
is located to the right of the instrument panel cluster.
1 FUEL: Press this button to display fuel information
such as fuel economy and range.
2 GAGES: Use this button to display gage information
like oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature,
transmission fluid temperature, battery voltage and
front/rear tire pressures.
3 TRIP: Use this button to display your total and trip
miles, the elapsed time function, your average speed and
the engine oil life.
4 OPTIONS: This button allows you to choose personal
options that are available on your vehicle, depending on
the options your vehicle is equipped with, such as
security, door locks, easy entry seats and language.
5 E/M: Use this button to change the display between
English and metric units.
RESET: This button, used along with the other buttons,
will reset system functions and turn off or acknowledge
messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
At the top of the DIC control buttons is a light sensor.
Be sure not to block the sensor or your lighting
functions may be disrupted.

move back and the telescopic steering wheel (if equipped)
will return to its full
-forward position for an easy exit or an
easy entrance when returning to the vehicle.
SEAT EASY ENTRY OFF turns off this option.
Languages
You can select which language the DIC will display its
messages. Press the OPTIONS button until the word
LANGUAGES appears on the display, then use the
RESET button to page through the following choices:

LANGUAGE ENGLISH

LANGUAGE FRENCH

LANGUAGE GERMAN

LANGUAGE SPANISHBlank Page
There is a blank page at the end of the OPTIONS menu.
When the blank page is displayed, you can access the
following items:
FOB TRAINING: This option allows you to match the
RFA transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access this
option by pressing and holding RESET for three
seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your
Vehicleº in the Index for more information.
TIRE TRAINING: The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
operates with battery-powered sensors that are located
inside the valve stems on each tire. Each sensor has a
unique ID code so the vehicle knows the tire location of
the sensor. When the vehicle reaches a speed of greater
than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors begin to send the
tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle.
These readings are displayed when using the GAGES
button on the DIC. If you are unable to display your tire
pressures while the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph
(24 km/h), you may need to have your sensor ID codes
learned by the vehicle. See your dealer.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE: You will hear two chimes
when this message is displayed. To acknowledge the
warning, press RESET. After you press RESET, a
message will reappear and you will hear a chime every
10 minutes until this condition changes. This message
indicates that the pressure in one of your tires is less
than 25 psi (172 kPa). Next to the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message, you can see either LF (left front),
LR (left rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to
indicate to you which tire is low on pressure. You can
receive more than one tire pressure message at a time.
To read other messages that may have been sent at the
same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure message
appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº in the Index.
CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle's handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.

FLAT TIRE: You will hear two chimes when this
message is displayed followed by the message MAX
SPEED 55 MPH (90 km/h). If this message appears, do
not drive your vehicle above these limits. The next
message to appear is REDUCED HANDLING. Adjust
your driving accordingly. To acknowledge these
warnings, press RESET. After you press RESET, a
message will reappear and you will hear a chime every
10 minutes until this condition changes. This message
indicates that the pressure in one of your tires is lower
than 5 psi (34 kPa). Next to the FLAT TIRE message,
you can see either LF (left front), LR (left rear), RF
(right front) or RR (right rear) to indicate to you which
tire is flat. You can receive more than one tire pressure
message at a time. To read other messages that may
have been sent at the same time, press RESET. If a tire
pressure message appears on the DIC, stop as soon as
you can. Have the tire pressures checked and set to those
shown on your Tire Loading Information Label. See
ªExtended Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº in
the Index.

will hear two chimes when this message is displayed. To
acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you press
RESET, a message will reappear and you will hear a
chime every 10 minutes until this condition changes.
This message indicates that the pressure in one of your

TIRE PRESSURE message, you can see either LF
(left front), LR (left rear), RF (right front) or RR (right
rear) to indicate to you which tire is higher than 42 psi
(290 kPa). You can receive more than one tire pressure
message at a time. To read other messages that may
have been sent at the same time, press RESET. If a tire
pressure message appears on the DIC, stop as soon as
you can. Have the tire pressures checked and set to those
shown on your Tire Loading Information Label.
See ªExtended Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº
in the Index.SERVICE TIRE MON SYS: If this message comes on,
a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is not
working properly. If you drive your vehicle while any of
the four sensors are missing or inoperable, the warning
will come on in approximately 10 minutes. If all four
sensors are missing, the warning will come on in
approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All the sensors would
be missing, for example, if you put different wheels on
your vehicle without transferring the sensors.) If the
warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem
with the TPM. See your dealer.
