DIC Operation and Displays (Base Level DIC) The Driver Information Center (DIC) control buttons and the message display screen are located above the radio. The DIC gives important safety and maintenance facts concerning the vehicle. The status of many of the vehicle's systems along with driver personal programming mode menus and warning messages about the vehicle's systems may display on the DIC screen. The vehicle's shift lever position will also appear. Trip Odometer 3 (Trip Odometer): Press this button to access the odometer and trip distance modes. The first menu on the DIC screen will be the odometer reading, or cumulative mileage of the vehicle. The odometer cannot be reset. Press the trip odometer button to advance to the next menu. Trip Distances: This menu shows the distances that the vehicle has driven between specific points. The trip odometer will record the number of miles up to 9,999.9 miles or 9 999.9 km travelled for up to two trips. When 9,999.9 miles or 9 999.9 km is reached for either trip, the odometer for that trip will go back to zero. Press the trip odometer button again to access TRIP A. Press the trip odometer button again to access TRIP B. To reset the trip odometer(s) back to zero miles or kilometers, access the trip to reset and press the set/ reset button. The buttons on the base level are trip odometer, set/reset, and options. The trip odometer has a feature called the retro-active reset. This can be used to set the trip odometer to the number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition was last turned on. This can be used if the trip odometer was not reset at the beginning of the trip. 3-62
