Driver Information Center (DIC)
If your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information
Center (DIC), this system displays the outside air
temperature, compass direction and trip information in
the overhead console.
US/MET (United States/Metric):The US/MET
(United States/metric) button allows you to switch the
display between the English and metric system.
MODE:The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
COMP/TEMP (Compass/Temperature):The display
provides the outside temperature and one of eight
compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle
is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the ICE and the current temperature
every eight seconds. This is a warning to the drive that
road conditions may be icy, and that appropriate
precautions should be taken.The compass is self-calibrating, so it does not need to
be manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed,
the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also
place the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing
the holding the MODE and US/MET buttons at the
same time while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about
10 seconds, the compass will display C and you can
release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete
360° circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and the compass will function normally.
Once the calibration is complete, the display will return
to a compass reading.
Variance is the different between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
