DIC Operation and
Displays (Without DIC
Buttons)
If your vehicle does not have DIC
buttons, the information below
explains the operation of this system.
The DIC has different displays which
can be accessed by pressing the trip
odometer reset stem located on the
instrument panel cluster. Pressing
the trip odometer reset stem will
also turn off, or acknowledge,
DIC messages.
The DIC displays trip and vehicle
system information, and warning
messages if a system problem
is detected.
If your vehicle does not have
DIC buttons, you can use the trip
odometer reset stem to view the
following displays: odometer, tripodometers, oil life, park assist menu
for vehicles with the Ultrasonic
Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system,
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter programming, units,
and display language.
If your vehicle has DIC buttons,
you can use the trip odometer reset
stem to view the following displays:
odometer and trip odometers.
Trip Odometer Reset Stem
Menu Items
ODOMETER
Press the trip odometer reset
stem until ODOMETER displays.
This display shows the distance the
vehicle has been driven in either
miles (mi) or kilometers (km).
To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “UNITS”
later in this section.TRIP A or TRIP B
Press the trip odometer reset stem
until TRIP A or TRIP B displays.
This display shows the current
distance traveled in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for each trip odometer. Both
trip odometers can be used at the
same time.
Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing and
holding the trip odometer reset stem
while the desired trip odometer is
displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature
called the retro-active reset. This can
be used to set the trip odometer to
the number of miles (kilometers)
driven since the ignition was last
turned on. This can be used if the
trip odometer is not reset at the
beginning of the trip.

Your vehicle may have a
compass in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer/
retailer will set the correct zone
for your location.
Under certain circumstances,
such as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to a new
state or province, it will be necessary
to compensate for compass variance
by resetting the zone through the
DIC if the zone is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference
between the earth’s magnetic north
and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone where
you live, the compass may give false
readings. The compass must be set
to the variance zone in which the
vehicle is traveling.To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:
