2006 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX automatic transmission fluid

DIC Controls and Displays (Uplevel
DIC with Trip Computer)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) control buttons and
the message display screen are located above the
radio. The DIC gives important safety and maintenance
facts concerning the vehicle. The status of many of
the vehicle’s systems along with driver personalization
menus and warning messages about the vehicle’s
systems may display on the DIC screen.
The outside temperature automatically appears on the
bottom right corner of the DIC display screen. If the
outside temperature is below 38°F (3°C), the temperature
reading will toggle between displaying the outside
temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. If there is
a problem with the system that controls the temperature
display, the letters OC (Open Circuit) or SC (Short
Circuit) will appear on the display. If this occurs, have the
vehicle serviced by
your GM dealer.
The vehicle’s transaxle position and the direction the
vehicle is traveling will also appear on the DIC screen.The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. However, under
certain circumstances, such as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to compensate for
compass variance and reset the zone through the
DIC. See “Setting the Compass” later in this section for
more information.
The buttons on the DIC trip computer are gages, trip
odometer, set/reset, options, and fuel.
