Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All information appears in the DIC display located in the
instrument panel cluster.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC displays the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off.
The DIC displays the odometer, trip odometers, outside
air temperature, compass information, and shift lever
position indicator.
To change the outside air temperature units from
English to metric, turn the reset stem on the instrument
panel cluster clockwise or counterclockwise until the
unit changes. This also changes the units displayed
in the navigation system, if your vehicle has this feature.
If there is a problem with the system that controls the
temperature display, the numbers will be replaced with
dashes. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer. If an abnormal temperature reading is
displayed for an extended period of time, consult your
dealer/retailer. Under certain circumstances, especially
when the engine is idling, a delay updating the
temperature display is normal.
SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation (Base) on
page 2-22orAutomatic Transmission Operation
(Uplevel) on page 2-25for more information.

DIC Compass
Your vehicle has a compass in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
Your dealer/retailer will set the correct zone for your
location.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip or moving to a new state or
province, it will be necessary to compensate for compass
variance by resetting the zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the compass
is not set to the zone where you live, the compass may
give false readings. The compass must be set to the
variance zone in which the vehicle is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the following
procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure
1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is
moving. Only set it when the vehicle is in PARK (P).
Press the reset stem until C## is displayed.2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance
zone number/direction on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are available.
3. To select the appropriate variance zone, turn the
reset stem clockwise or counterclockwise and then
release to advance to the next available zone.
Repeat as needed.
If the zone does not change while turning the reset
stem, try turning it in the opposite direction.
