DIC Operation and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on when the
ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display
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 any of the four DIC buttons
or the trip odometer reset stem will acknowledge or clear
most current warnings or service messages. Some
warnings that cannot be acknowledged or cleared are:
ENGINE OVERHEATED, OIL PRESSURE LOW,
REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRANS HOT IDLE
ENGINE. These warnings must be dealt with
immediately and therefore cannot be cleared until the
problem has been corrected.You should take any message that appears on the
display seriously and remember that clearing the
message will only make the message disappear, not
correct the problem.
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by
pressing the four DIC buttons located on the steering
wheel. These buttons are trip information, fuel
information, personalization and select. The button
