The back of the vehicle is in
an accident, the position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer/retailer.
There are extreme temperature
changes.
The rear vision camera system
display in the rearview mirror may
turn off or not appear as expected
due to one of the following
conditions. If this occurs the left
indicator light on the mirror will ash.
A slow ash may indicate a loss of
video signal, or no video signal
present during the reverse cycle.
A fast ash may indicate that
the display has been on for the
maximum allowable time during a
reverse cycle, or the display has
reached an Over Temperature
limit.
The fast ash conditions are used
to protect the video device from
high temperature conditions.
Once conditions return to normal
the device will reset and the green
indicator will stop ashing.
During any of these fault conditions,
the display will be blank and the
indicator will continue to ash as long
as the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or
until the conditions return to normal.
Pressing and holding
zwhen the
left indicator light is ashing will turn
off the video display along with

Speedometer and
Odometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle’s speed in both miles per
hour (mph) and kilometers per
hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far
the vehicle has been driven, in
either miles or kilometers.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer
installed, the new one is set to the
mileage total of the old odometer.
If it cannot, it will be set at zero and
a label must be put on the driver’s
door to show the old mileage reading
when the new odometer was
installed. If the mileage is unknown,
the label should then indicate that the
previous mileage is unknown.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can record
the number of miles, used in the
United States, or kilometers, used in
Canada, traveled for up to two trips.
Cycle between the odometer and
trip odometers A and B by pressing
the reset button located in the
lower right area of the speedometer.
Press the reset button to tell how
many miles or kilometers have been
recorded on either Trip A or Trip B
since the trip odometer was last
set back to zero.
To reset each trip odometer to zero,
press and hold the reset button.
The reset button resets only the trip
odometer that is being displayed.
Each trip odometer must be reset
individually.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).

If it stays on after the parking brake
is fully released, there is a brake
problem. Have the brake system
inspected immediately.
{CAUTION
The brake system might not be
working properly if the brake
system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning
light on can lead to a crash. If the
light is still on after the vehicle
has been pulled off the road and
carefully stopped, have the
vehicle towed for service.
If the light comes on while driving,
a chime sounds. Pull off the road and
stop. The pedal might be harder to
push or go closer to the oor. It might
also take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for
service. SeeTowing Your Vehicle
on page 4-32.
Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light
For vehicles with the Antilock Brake
System (ABS), this light should come
on briey as the engine is started. If it
does not come on have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer/retailer.
If the ABS light stays on longer than
a few seconds after engine is started,
or comes on and stays on while
driving, try resetting the system.
To reset the system:
1. While driving, pull over when it is
safe to do so.
2. Place the vehicle in P (PARK).
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. Then restart the engine.If the ABS light remains on after
resetting the system or comes on
again while driving, the vehicle
needs service. If the ABS light is on,
but the regular brake system warning
light is not on, the antilock brakes are
not working properly, but the regular
brakes are still functioning. Have the
vehicle serviced right away. If both
brake lights are on, the vehicle does
not have antilock brakes, and there
is a problem with the regular brakes
as well. Have the vehicle towed for
service. SeeTowing Your Vehicle
on page 4-32.

DIC Buttons
The buttons are the trip/fuel,
vehicle information, customization,
and set/reset buttons. The button
functions are detailed in the
following pages.
3(Trip/Fuel):Press this
button to display the odometer,
trip odometer, fuel range, average
economy, fuel used, and elapsed
time. Some vehicles also display
instantaneous economy. The
compass and outside temperature
will also be shown in the display.
The temperature will be shown
in °F or °C depending on the units
selected.
T(Vehicle Information):Press
this button to display the oil life,
units, tire pressure readings
for vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
programming, compass zone
setting, compass recalibration on
vehicles with this feature, coolant
temperature, and battery voltage.
U(Customization):Press this
button to customize the feature
settings on your vehicle. SeeDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 3-57
for more information.
V(Set/Reset):Press this button
to set or reset certain functions
and to turn off or acknowledge
messages on the DIC.
Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3(Trip/Fuel):Press this button
to scroll through the following
menu items:
Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until
ODOMETER displays. This display
shows the distance the vehicle
has been driven in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km). Pressing the
trip odometer reset stem will
also display the odometer.
To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “Units”
later in this section.
Instrument Panel 3-43

Trip Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button 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 the trip odometer. Pressing
the trip odometer reset stem will
also display the trip odometer.
Each trip odometer can be reset
to zero separately by pressing
the set/reset button while the trip
odometer is displayed. You can
also reset the trip odometer while
it is displayed by pressing and
holding the trip odometer reset stem.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until
FUEL RANGE displays. This
display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi)
or kilometers (km) the vehicle
can be driven without refueling.
The display will show LOW if
the fuel level is low.The fuel range estimate is based
on an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even though
the same amount of fuel is in the fuel
tank. This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel
economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy
than city driving. Fuel range cannot
be reset.
If the vehicle is low on fuel, the
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be
displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW”
underDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-49.Average Fuel Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
displays. This display shows
the approximate average miles
per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This
number is calculated based on the
number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded
since the last time this menu item
was reset. To reset the AVERAGE
FUEL ECONOMY, press and hold
the set/reset button. The display will
show zero.
Fuel Used
Press the trip/fuel button until
FUEL USED displays. This display
shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last
reset of this menu item. To reset
the fuel used information, press
and hold the set/reset button while
FUEL USED is displayed.

When the remaining oil life is low,
the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
message will appear on the display.
See “CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON”
underDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-49. You should change
the oil as soon as you can. See
