Other Warning Devices
If you carry reective triangles, you can set them
up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m)
behind your vehicle.
Horn
To sound the horn, press the center pad on the
steering wheel.
Tilt Wheel
The tilt wheel will allow you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive. Raise it to the highest
level to give your legs more room when you exit
and enter your vehicle.The tilt steering wheel lever is located on the
lower left side of the column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull
the lever. Then move the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
213

Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille, that
is in the middle of the instrument panel, monitors
the solar radiation. Do not cover the solar
sensor or the system will not work properly.There is an interior temperature sensor located
next to the steering wheel that measures the
temperature of the air inside your vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor
located behind the front grille. This sensor reads
the outside air temperature and helps maintain the
temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on
the front of the vehicle could cause a false reading
in the displayed temperature.

Here are some situations you may experience with
your fuel gage. None of these indicate a problem
with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than
the fuel gage indicated. For example, the
gage may have indicated the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than
half the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
The gage goes back to empty when you turn
off the ignition.
If you have a diesel engine, see “Fuel Gage” in
the Diesel Engine Supplement.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briey
when you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on
fuel. To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
SeeFuel on page 470.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) display is
located on the instrument panel cluster, below the
speedometer. If your vehicle has DIC buttons,
they are located on the steering wheel. The DIC
can display information such as the trip odometer,
fuel economy, customization features, and
warning/status messages.
If your vehicle does not have DIC steering wheel
buttons, you will not have all of the features
listed. Scroll through the odometer, trip odometer,
engine hours, and selected range if your vehicle
has an Allison Transmission
®by pressing the
trip odometer reset stem located on the instrument
panel cluster. Turn off, or acknowledge, DIC
messages by pressing the trip odometer reset
stem. SeeSpeedometer and Odometer on
page 246for information on features for vehicles
without DIC buttons.
265

If your vehicle has an Allison Transmission®and
the shift lever is in the MANUAL MODE (M)
position, the DIC will display the current gear
range. The DIC will also display the gear range as
it is shifted up or down. For example, if the gear
range is currently set to 6, the DIC will display
(6)54321. When thegear range is shifted down
one time, the DIC will display 6 (5)4321. See
Automatic Transmission Operation on page 140for

DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) to notify the driver
that the status of the vehicle has changed and
that some action may be needed by the driver to
correct the condition. If there is more than one
message that needs to be displayed, they
will appear one after another. Some messages
may not require immediate action, but you should
press any of the four DIC buttons on the
steering wheel to acknowledge that you received
the messages and to clear them from the
display. If your vehicle does not have DIC buttons
on the steering wheel, press the trip odometer
reset stem, located on the instrument panel
cluster, to acknowledge messages and clear them
from the display.Some messages cannot be cleared from the
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. You should take
any messages that appear on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the messages will
only make the messages disappear, not correct
the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
On some vehicles, if the battery is not charging
during operation, this message will appear on the
DIC. Driving with this problem could drain the
battery. Have the electrical system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible. Pressing any
of the four DIC buttons will acknowledge the
message and clear it from the DIC display. If your
vehicle does not have the four DIC buttons,
pressing the trip odometer reset stem will
acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display. SeeBattery Warning Light on
page 253andVoltmeter Gage on page 253.
