Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages 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 displays 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 2-47.On some vehicles, 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/retailer.
The DIC also allows some features to be customized
or personalized, if equipped. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-76
for more information.
DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by
pressing the DIC buttons located on the center of the
instrument panel. The buttons are the information,
set/reset, and menu buttons.
The button functions are detailed in the following pages.
