This display shows the EVIC messages when the appro-
priate conditions exist. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-

MINI-TRIP COMPUTER — IF EQUIPPED
The Mini-Trip Computer is located in the instrument
cluster and features a driver-interactive trip information
and temperature display.
NOTE:The system will display the last known outside

ture is displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the
displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings
are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.
