well as warning messages if a system problem is
detected. The DIC display area is located in the
instrument panel cluster below the speedometer and
tachometer, directly above the steering column.
The following buttons are located on the DIC control panel
which is located to the right of the instrument panel cluster.
1 FUEL: Press this button to display fuel information
such as fuel economy and range.
2 GAGES: Use this button to display gage information
like oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature,
automatic transmission fluid temperature, battery
voltage and front/rear tire pressures.
3 TRIP: Use this button to display your total and trip
miles, the elapsed time function, your average speed and
the engine oil life.
4 OPTIONS: This button allows you to choose personal
options that are available on your vehicle, depending on
the options your vehicle is equipped with, such as
security, door locks, easy entry seats and language.
5 E/M: Use this button to change the display between
English and metric units.
RESET: This button, used along with the other buttons,
will reset system functions and turn off or acknowledge
messages on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
At the top of the DIC control buttons is a light sensor.
Be sure not to block the sensor or your lighting
functions may be disrupted.

Blank Page
There is a blank page at the end of the OPTIONS menu.
When the blank page is displayed, you can access the
following items:
FOB TRAINING: This option allows you to match the
RKE transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access this
option by pressing and holding RESET for three
seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your
Vehicleº in the Index for more information.
TIRE TRAINING (Except Z06): The Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) operates with battery
-powered sensors that
are located inside the valve stems on each tire. Each sensor
has a unique ID code so the vehicle knows the tire location
of the sensor. When the vehicle reaches a speed of greater
than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors begin to send the tire
pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle. These
readings are displayed when using the GAGES button on
the DIC. If you are unable to display your tire pressures
while the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph (24 km/h),
you may need to have your sensor ID codes learned by the
vehicle. See your dealer.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE: (Except Z06)
You will hear two chimes when this message is
displayed. To acknowledge the warning, press RESET.
After you press RESET, a message will appear every
10 minutes until this condition changes. This message
indicates that the pressure in one of your tires is less
than 25 psi (172 kPa). Next to the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message, you can see either LF (left front),
LR (left rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to
indicate to you which tire is low on pressure. You can
receive more than one tire pressure message at a time.
To read other messages that may have been sent at the
same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure message
appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Pressure Monitorº in
the Index.
CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle's handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.

Adjust your driving accordingly. To acknowledge these
warnings, press RESET. After you press RESET, a
message will reappear every 10 minutes until this
condition changes. This message indicates that the

Next to the FLAT TIRE message, you can see either
LF (left front), LR (left rear), RF (right front) or
RR (right rear) to indicate to you which tire is flat.
You can receive more than one tire pressure message at
a time. To read other messages that may have been sent
at the same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure
message appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can.
Have the tire pressures checked and set to those shown
on your Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº in the Index.

message comes on, a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) is not working properly. If you drive your
vehicle while any of the four sensors are missing or
inoperable, the warning will come on in approximately
10 minutes. If all four sensors are missing, the warning
will come on in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All
the sensors would be missing, for example, if you put
