Performance Pages — If Equipped
WARNING!
Measurement of vehicle statistics with the perfor-

use only and should not be done on any public
roadways. It is recommended that these features be
used in a controlled environment and within the
limits of the law. The capabilities of the vehicle as
measured by the performance pages must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which
can jeopardize the users safety or the safety of others.
Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents.

Performance Pages display in the EVIC the following
performance data:
•1/8 mile time and speed
•1/4 mile time and speed
•0-60 mph (100 kp/h) time
•Braking distance (speed and distance)
•Vehicle G-force (longitudinal and lateral)
NOTE:If any of the Performance Page screens are
active, the Trip button will not affect the odometer. The
trip button will toggle to a vehicle best screen if appli-
cable.
1/8 or 1/4 Mile
When the 1/8 (1/4) mile EVIC screen is active, the time
that the vehicle takes to travel 1/8 (1/4) mile will be
displayed along with the speed when the vehicle reaches
the 1/8 (1/4) mile distance.
•The feature will “ready” when the vehicle is at 0 mph
(0 kp/h). The mph (kp/h) and SEC text will flash,
indicating that conditions are met for the event to
begin.
•If the vehicle does not reach 1/8 (1/4) mile distance in
less than 30 seconds, the EVIC will display dashes.
•After a completed 1/8 (1/4) mile event, the speed and
time will be displayed on the EVIC. The speed and
time will remain on the screen until a new perfor-
mance screen is selected, or the vehicle speed drops to
0 mph (0 kp/h) and climbs past 30 mph (48 kp/h).
•Pressing the TRIP button will display the vehicle best
1/8 mile or 1/4 mile run.
•To clear the current and vehicle best time and distance,
hold the trip button, then press and release the EVIC
button.

Braking Distance
When the braking distance EVIC screen is active, the
vehicle braking distance and speed at which the brake
was depressed will be displayed. This feature is available
for braking that begins at a speed over 30 mph (48 kp/h).
•The mph (kp/h) and ft (m) text will flash when the
conditions are met to begin a braking event. While a
braking event is taking place, the starting speed and
current distance will be shown.
•The feature will be disabled if the park brake is
engaged.
•The braking distance measurement will be aborted if
the brake is released before the vehicle comes to a
complete stop.
0-60 mph (0-100 kp/h)
When the 0-60 mph (100 kp/h) screen is active, the time
that the vehicle takes to reach 60 mph (100 kp/h) will be
displayed.
•The feature will “ready” when the vehicle is at 0 mph.
The SEC text will flash indicating that conditions are
met for the event to begin.
•If the vehicle does not reach 60 mph (100 kp/h) in less
then 10 seconds, the display will revert back to dashes.
•Pressing the trip button will display the vehicle best

G-Force
When the G-force screen is active, all four G-force values
will be displayed; two longitude and two latitude.
•When a force greater than zero is measured, the
display will update the values as it climbs. As the
G-forces fall in value, the peak forces are held. After
zero G is measured in the vehicle the peak values will
continue to be displayed for three seconds. After three
seconds, the value will revert back to zero.
Compass/Temperature/Audio — If Equipped
Press and release the EVIC button to display one of eight
compass headings to indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing, the outside temperature, and the current radio

When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read
“RESET” or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. This is not resettable.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a text display ofLOW FUEL. This display will

continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
LOW FUELtext and a new DTE value will be dis-
played, based on the current values in the DTE calcula-
tion and the current fuel tank level.
Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset
when the ignition switch is in the ACC position. Elapsed
time will increment when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) — If Equipped
