Rendezvous FWD V6-3.5L VIN L (2006)
will toggle every 8 seconds for 2 minutes between the outside temperature and the word ICE. After 2 minutes the ICE feature is disabled. When the
temperature is less than -40°C (-40°F) or when there is an open in the circuit for more than 2 seconds, OC displays. When the temperature is above 60
°C (140°F) or when there is a short in the circuit for more than 2 seconds, SC displays.
The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted in the forward engine area of the vehicle. In this position, it is exposed to the airflow through the grill
before it reaches the radiators.
The DIC displays the ambient air temperature value that it receives from the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The ambient air temperature is updated or
displayed under the following conditions:
Personalization
For personalization features refer to Personalization Description and Operation in Personalization.
Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
AFE is calculated as the ratio between the following values:
-
AFE = Distance/Fuel
-
Distance = The accumulated distance since the last AFE reset
-
Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last AFE reset
You can reset the AFE mode by depressing and holding the Set button for more than 3 seconds. The value of this mode is retained during ignition
OFF.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
Instantaneous fuel economy is calculated as the ratio between the following values:
-
IFE = Distance/Fuel
-
Distance = The accumulated distance since last update
-
Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered since last update
You cannot reset the IFE mode. The value of this mode is not retained during ignition OFF.
Fuel Range
Fuel Range is calculated between the following values:
-
Fuel Range = AFE x Fuel Remaining
-
Fuel Remaining = Fuel sender value of available fuel
When a low fuel condition exists, the DIC displays FUEL RANGE LOW.
You can not reset the Fuel Range mode. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF.
Fuel Used
The DIC calculates and displays the total amount of fuel used since the last reset operation.
You can reset the Fuel Used mode by depressing and holding the Set button for more than 3 seconds. The value of this mode is retained during
ignition OFF.
Average Speed
Average speed is calculated as the ratio between the following values:
-
Average Speed = Distance/Ignition On
-
Distance = Accumulated distance since last reset
-
Ignition On = Accumulated ignition on time since last reset
ignition on is defined as run power mode with engine RPM greater than 100.
Ignition On time is measured from the time that the ignition is turned ON to the time when the ignition is turned OFF.
You can reset the Average Speed mode by depressing and holding the Set button for more than 3 seconds. The value of this mode is retained during
ignition OFF.
Oil Life Left
Oil life left percentage is based on the information the DIC receives from a class 2 message from the PCM. The DIC displays the current percentage of
the GM Oil Life System. When the oil needs changing the change engine oil indicator in the message center turns ON. When the engine oil is changed,
reset the oil life left. Refer to GM Oil Life System - Resetting in Maintenance and Lubrication.
Low Tire Pressure
Tire pressure is based on the information the DIC receives from a class 2 message from the EBCM. The DIC displays NORMAL when the tire
pressure is normal. When there is low tire pressure, the DIC displays LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO RESET. In order to reset the low tire
pressure, press and hold the Set button for 3 seconds. When the tire pressure has been reset, the DIC displays TIRE PRESSURE RESET for 3
seconds.
