Driver Information Center (DIC) MODE Button The MODE button can be used to toggle between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP and TRIP. OFF: No driver information is displayed in this mode of operation. COMP/TEMP (Compass/Temperature): This 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 37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will toggle between the word ICE and the current temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning to the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that appropriate precautions should be taken. See "Compass Variance" later in this section for more information. TRIP: In the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE button cycles through the five TRIP displays. See "Trip Computer" later in this section for more information. Your vehicle may have a Driver Information Center (DIC) located on the overhead console. This DIC displays the outside air temperature, compass direction and trip information in the overhead console. The temperature, compass display and trip computer will work when the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-18. US/MET (United States/Metric) Button The US/MET button allows you to switch the display between the English and metric system. 3-37
