Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information
Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display
located in the instrument panel cluster, below the
tachometer. The DIC buttons are located on
the center of the instrument panel, below the
center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC will display WELCOME
DRIVER (1 or 2) if a personalized key 1 or 2 is
used, and then the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off. The
driver number also corresponds to the numbers,
1 or 2, on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitters.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers,
fuel economy, trip computer, vehicle system
information, and compass display, if equipped. It
also displays warning messages if a system
problem is detected. In addition, the DIC displays
phone numbers that are called using the
OnStar
®system, if equipped. SeeOnStar®
System on page 167.If equipped, the outside air temperature
automatically appears in the bottom right corner of
the DIC display when viewing all of the information
screens, except for the oil life screens. If the
outside air temperature is at or below 37°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 dealer.
The DIC also allows some features to be
customized or personalized, if equipped. SeeDIC
Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on
page 275for more information.
DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different modes which can be
