DIC Operation and Displays

The Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on when the
ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the
information that was last displayed before the engine was
turned off.

The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by
pressing the four DIC buttons located on the steering
wheel. These buttons are trip information, fuel
information, customization, and select. The button
functions are detailed in the following pages.

Trip Information Button

3

(Trip Information): Press the trip information

button to scroll through the ODOMETER, TRIP A,
TRIP B, TIMER, ENGINE HOURS, and SELECTED
RANGE.

Odometer: Press the trip information button until
ODOMETER appears on the display. This mode shows
the total distance the vehicle has been driven in either
miles or kilometers. Pressing the reset stem located on
the instrument cluster with the vehicle off will also display
the odometer.

Trip A: Press the trip information button until TRIP A
appears on the display. This mode shows the current
distance traveled since the last reset for TRIP A in either
miles or kilometers.

Trip B: Press the trip information button until TRIP B
appears on the display. This mode shows the current
distance traveled since the last reset for TRIP B in either
miles or kilometers.

To reset TRIP A or TRIP B information, press and hold
the select button for one second while in one of the
trip modes. This will reset the information for TRIP A or
TRIP B.

You can also reset TRIP A or TRIP B while they are
displayed by pressing the reset stem on the cluster. If you
press and hold the reset stem or the select button for
four seconds, the display will show the distance traveled
since the last ignition cycle for TRIP A or TRIP B.

See Trip Odometer on page 3-33 for more information.

Timer: The DIC can be used as a timer. Press the select
button while TIMER is displayed to start the timer. The
display will show the amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset, not including time the
ignition is off. Time will continue to be counted as long as
the ignition is on, even if another display is being shown
on the DIC. The timer will record up to 99 hours,
59 minutes and 59 seconds (99:59:59) after which the
display will roll back to zero.

To stop the counting of time, press the select button
briefly while TIMER is displayed.

To reset the timer to zero, press and hold the select
button while TIMER is displayed.
