Driver Information Center (DIC) (If Equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Driver Information Center (DIC). The DIC will display information about how your vehicle is functioning, as well as warning messages if a system problem is detected. This feature also allows two different drivers to store and recall their own personal choice settings. See ªDIC Personal Choice Programmingº later in this section.

DIC Displays and Controls

There are two lines in the DIC display. The DIC displays the driver number identified when entering the vehicle. You can have your dealer program your name to appear on this display line. See your dealer for more information.

When you turn the ignition on, the DIC will display your DRIVER NUMBER. The system will then perform a status check and display any messages if a problem is detected.

If there are no problems detected, the display will return to the mode selected by that driver the last time the ignition was turned off.

If a problem is detected, a diagnostic message will appear in the display. The following pages will show the messages you may see on the DIC display.

The message center is continuously updated with the vehicle's performance status.
