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 37ÉF (3ÉC) 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
360É 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:

zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET
buttons in the COMP/TEMP mode.3. After ®ve seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number. When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to set your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP:Once in the TRIP mode, press the MODE button
for the following trip functions:
AVG ECON (Average Economy):The average fuel
economy since the last reset is displayed.
INST ECON (Instantaneous Economy):Instantaneous
fuel economy for the last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE:The display indicates the estimated distance
that can be travelled with the remaining fuel in the tank,
based on the fuel economy for the last few hours of
driving.
FUEL USED:The fuel used since the last reset is
displayed.
AVG SPEED (Average Speed):The average speed
since the last reset is displayed.
2-54

To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and
US/MET buttons simultaneously for at least two
seconds. All functions will be displayed brie¯y once the
system is reset. Reset can only be performed in the
AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes. All
three modes are reset at the same time.
