3-44 Instrument Panel 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 show a problem with the fuel gage: Driver Information Center (DIC) Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC). The DIC displays information about your vehicle. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected. All messages will appear in the DIC display located at the top of the instrument panel cluster. The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off. The DIC also displays a shift lever position indicator on the bottom line of the display. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-24 for more information. The outside air temperature and compass, if equipped, also displays on the DIC when viewing the trip and fuel information. • 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 might 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. The outside air temperature automatically appears in the top right corner of the DIC display. If there is a problem with the system that controls the temperature display, the numbers will be replaced with dashes. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced. The compass will be shown in the bottom right corner of the DIC display. See DIC Compass on page 3-54 for more information. If your vehicle has DIC buttons, see "DIC Operation and Displays (With DIC Buttons)" later in this section and DIC Vehicle Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 3-65 for the displays available. If your vehicle does not have DIC buttons, see "DIC Operation and Displays (Without DIC Buttons)" later in this section for the displays available. • 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.
