An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these indicate a problem with the vehicle's fuel gage: Driver Information Center (DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays information such as the trip odometer, personalization features, and warning messages. The DIC display is located on the instrument panel cluster. • At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full. • It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. DIC Operation and Displays The Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on when the ignition is on. If a problem is detected, a warning message appears on the display. Pressing and releasing the trip odometer reset stem on the DIC acknowledges some current warnings or service messages. Some messages only clear after the required action has been taken. The DIC has different modes which can be accessed by pressing the trip odometer reset stem on the DIC. These modes are explained in the following section. The DIC trip odometer reset stem is located on the instrument panel cluster next to the DIC display. To scroll through the available functions, press and release the reset stem. • The gage moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up. • The gage does not go back to empty when the ignition is turned off. When the fuel in the fuel tank is low, a LOW FUEL message will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-38 for more information. 3-35
