The DIC will customize a number of driver preferences. For complete details on Personalization: Refer to the Owner's Manual.
Set/Reset Button
This button is used to set or reset values within the trip odometer, average economy, or options mode. Refer to the descriptions to find out which items
can be reset.
Gages Button (Uplevel DIC)
This button is used to access the Oil Life Remaining, Transmission Fluid Temp, Battery, Engine Hours, and Engine Boost (with supercharger) modes.
Engine Oil Life Remaining
This mode will indicate the percentage of remaining oil life before the driver is alerted to change the oil. The powertrain control module (PCM) will
transmit the class 2 message to display the CHANGE OIL SOON warning on the driver information center (DIC) once the remaining oil life falls below
five percent. Once the oil has been changed the engine oil life monitor needs to be reset in the options mode.
Transmission Fluid Temp
Displays the Temperature of the transmission fluid in °F or °C as chosen by the driver.
Battery
Displays the current voltage as communicated by the body control module (BCM).
Engine Hours
Displays the total number of hours the engine has operated while in RUN. The hourmeter shall update every 6 minutes and will not change if the battery
is disconnected or removed. The hourmeter will reset to 0.0 when 100, 000 hours are accumulated and begin to accumulate hours again.
Engine Boost (if supercharged)
Displays a graphic indicating the amount of boost as communicated by the PCM.
Fuel (Uplevel DIC)
This button is used to access the Average Fuel Economy (AFE), Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE), and the Fuel Range modes.
Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
The driver information center (DIC) will display the average miles per gallon or average liters per 100 km/h. AFE is resettable with the Set/Reset
button and 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
Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE)
The DIC will display the instant fuel economy under the current driving conditions and will change as driving conditions change.
Range
Fuel Range indicates the distance that the vehicle can travel under current fuel economy and fuel level conditions. It is calculated from cumulative fuel
usage, fuel remaining, and odometer information. Fuel Range is not a resettable parameter. If the fuel tank contains less than 2 gallons (7.6 L) the DIC
will display the low fuel message.
