DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay the DIC will display the current driver and the
information that was last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the display. Pressing the select button will
acknowledge any current warning or service messages.
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by
pressing the four buttons on the DIC. These buttons are
trip information, fuel information, personalization and
select. The button functions are detailed in the following.
Trip Information Button
Use the trip information button to scroll through the
odometer, TRIP A, TRIP B and TIMER.
Odometer
Press the trip information button until the odometer
appears on the display. This shows the total distance the
vehicle has been driven in either miles or kilometers.
Pressing the reset stem located on the instrument cluster
with the vehicle off will also display the odometer.Trip A and Trip B
Press the trip information button until TRIP A or TRIP B
is displayed. This shows the current distance traveled
since the last reset for each trip odometer in either miles
or kilometers. Both odometers can be used at the
same time.
Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by
pressing select while the desired trip odometer is
displayed. You can also reset the trip odometers with the
reset stem on the cluster. If you press and hold the reset
stem for four seconds, the display will show the distance
traveled since the last ignition cycle.
Timer
The DIC can be used as a stopwatch. Press the select
button while TIMER is displayed to start the timer. The
display will show the amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset (not including time the
ignition is off). Time will continue to be counted as long
as the ignition is on, even if another display is being
shown on the DIC. The timer will record up to 99 hours,
59 minutes and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the
display will roll back to zero.
To stop the counting of time, press the select button
briefly while TIMER is displayed.
To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the select
button while TIMER is displayed.

Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are on
properly. Then lift the hood to relieve pressure on the
hood prop. Remove the hood prop from its slot in the
hood and return the prop to its retainer. Then pull the
hood down firmly to close. It will latch when dropped
from 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) without pressing on
the hood.Engine Oil
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears on the
instrument cluster, it means you need to check your
engine oil level right away. For more information, see
ªCheck Oil Level Messageº in the Index.
You should check your engine oil level regularly; this is
an added reminder.
Checking Engine Oil
It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you
get fuel. In order to get an accurate reading, the oil must
be warm and the vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick
handle is a yellow ring
located in the engine
compartment toward the
passenger's side of the
vehicle. See ªEngine
Compartment Overviewº
in the Index for more
information on location.
