DIC Controls and Displays When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the DIC will display the following: BUICK: BUICK will be displayed for three seconds. DRIVER #: This message will be displayed for another three seconds after BUICK appears in the display. This display lets the driver know which driver's remote keyless entry transmitter is being used and the driver's customization features. The DIC controls are located to the left of the steering column on the instrument panel. MODE: This button lets you cycle through the options on the display. SET: This button is used to select and set the options to your preference. The DIC will always display the compass reading and the outside temperature. If the temperature is below 38°F (3°C), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. AVG ECONOMY (Average Economy): Average fuel economy is viewed as a long term approximation of your overall driving conditions. To learn the average fuel economy from a new starting point, press and hold the SET button while the average fuel economy is displayed on the DIC. The average fuel economy will set to zero. INST ECONOMY (Instant Economy): Instant fuel economy reflects the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now. Instant fuel economy varies with your driving conditions, such as acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being traveled. Unlike average fuel economy, instant fuel economy cannot be reset. The DIC will be in the last mode displayed when the engine was turned off. To select a different mode, press MODE. The display will cycle through its options at each press of MODE. FUEL RANGE: The fuel range is an estimated distance that your vehicle can travel on the remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate the range is based on your driving history since the last reset of the average speed. 3-64
