DIC Info Pages
The following is the list of all
possible DIC info page displays.
Some may not be available for your
particular vehicle. Some items may
not be turned on by default but can
be turned on through the Settings
app. See “DIC Info Page Options”
earlier in this section.
Current Speed: Displays the
vehicle speed in either kilometers
per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph). Trip A and Average Fuel Economy
or Trip B and Average Fuel
Economy:
The Trip display shows
the current distance traveled, in
either kilometers (km) or miles (mi),
since the trip odometer was last
reset. The trip odometer can be
reset by pressing and holding
V
while this display is active.
The Average Fuel Economy display
shows the approximate average
liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number is calculated based on the
number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded
since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number reflects only
the approximate average fuel
economy that the vehicle has right
now, and will change as driving
conditions change. The Average
Fuel Economy can be reset by
pressing and holding
Vwhile this
display is active.
Fuel Range: Displays the
approximate distance the vehicle
can be driven without refueling. LOW will be displayed when the
vehicle is low on fuel. 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.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy:
Displays the current fuel economy in
either liters per 100 kilometers (L/
100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg).
This number reflects only the
approximate fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and changes
frequently as driving conditions
change.
Average Speed:
Displays the
average speed of the vehicle in
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles
per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on the various
vehicle speeds recorded since the
last reset of this value. The average
speed can be reset by pressing and
holding
Vwhile this display is
active.

Economy Trend:Displays history
of the Average Fuel Economy from
the last 50 km (30 miles). Each bar
represents about 5 km (3 miles) of
driving. The fuel economy will range
from 0 –15 L/100 km (0 –50 mpg).
During driving the bars will shift to
always reflect the most recent
distance on the right side. This
display cannot be reset.
Eco Index: The bar graph on the
left hand side provides feedback on
the efficiency of current driving
behavior. The graph shows
a percentage value that is based on
current fuel consumption compared
to what is expected from the vehicle
with good and bad driving habits.
Each box represents 10%, with all
boxes filled being 100%. More
economical driving will result in
being in the ECO box.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy is also
shown on right hand side. This
display cannot be reset.
Blank Page: Shows no

another.
The messages that do not require
immediate action can be
acknowledged and cleared by
pressing
V(Set/Reset).
The messages that require
immediate action cannot be cleared
until that action is performed.
All messages should be taken
seriously; clearing the message
does not correct the problem.
The following are the possible
messages and some information
about them.
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
This message displays when the
vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a
reasonable point. The battery saver
system starts reducing features of
the vehicle that may be noticed. At
the point that features are disabled,
this message displays. Turn off
unnecessary accessories to allow
the battery to recharge.
LOW BATTERY
This message is displayed when the
battery voltage is low. See Battery

and do not operate it until the cause
of the low oil pressure has been
corrected. Check the oil as soon as
possible and have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer.
Engine Power Messages
ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the
vehicle's engine power is reduced.
Reduced engine power can affect
the vehicle's ability to accelerate.
If this message is on, but there is no
reduction in performance, proceed
to your destination. The
performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The
vehicle may be driven at a reduced
speed while this message is on, but
maximum acceleration and speed
may be reduced. Anytime this message stays on, the vehicle
should be taken to your dealer for
service as soon as possible.
Fuel System Messages
FUEL LEVEL LOW
This message displays when the
vehicle is low on fuel. Refuel as
soon as possible.

Climate Control Influence on
eAssist Operation and Fuel
Economy (If Equipped)
The climate control system depends
on other vehicle systems for heat
and power input. Certain climate
control settings can lead to higher
fuel usage and/or fewer auto stops. The following climate control
settings use more fuel:
.Comfort air conditioning mode.
.The defrost mode.
.Extreme temperature settings,
such as 15°C (60°F) or 32°C
(90°F).
.High fan speed settings.
To help reduce fuel usage:
.Use the full automatic control as
described under “Automatic
Operation.”
.Use eco air conditioning, instead
of the comfort air conditioning.
.Select a temperature setting that
is higher in hot weather and
lower in cold weather.
.Turn off the air conditioning
when it is not needed.
.Only use defrost to clear the
windows. Automatic Operation
The system automatically controls
the fan speed, air delivery, air
conditioning, and recirculation in
order to heat or cool the vehicle to
the desired temperature.
When the AUTO indicator light is
on, the system is in full automatic
operation. If the air delivery mode,
fan speed, recirculation, or air
conditioning setting is adjusted, the
AUTO indicator turns off and the
selected settings will appear on the
display.
To place the system in
automatic mode:
1. Press AUTO.
2. Set the temperature. Allow the
system time to stabilize. Adjust
the temperature as needed for
best comfort.
To improve fuel efficiency and to
cool the vehicle faster, recirculation
may be automatically selected in
warm weather. The recirculation
