DIC Info Pages

The following is the list of all possible DIC info page displays. Some may not be available for your particular vehicle. Some items may not be turned on by default but can be turned on through the Options app. See “DIC Info Page Options” earlier in this section.

Speed : Shows the vehicle speed in either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). A speed limit sign can also be shown, if equipped.

Trip A or Trip B : Shows the current distance traveled, in either kilometers (km) or miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last reset.

This also shows the approximate average liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number is calculated based on the number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. This number reflects only the approximate average fuel economy that the vehicle has right now, and will change as driving conditions change. Press and hold V while this display is active to reset the trip odometer and the average fuel economy. Trip A and Trip B can also be reset by pressing p and choosing reset.

Fuel Range : Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can be driven without refueling. LOW will be displayed when the vehicle is low on fuel. The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the vehicle's fuel economy over recent driving history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

Remaining Oil Life : Shows an estimate of the oil's remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains. When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. The oil should be

changed as soon as possible. See Engine Oil 0 275. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule. See Maintenance Schedule 0 348. The Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Do not to reset the Oil Life display at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset, see Engine Oil Life System 0 277.

Tire Pressure : Shows the approximate pressures of all four tires. Tire pressure is displayed in either kilopascal (kPa) or in pounds per square inch (psi). If the pressure is low, the value for that tire is shown in amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System 0 309 and Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0 310.

Average Vehicle Speed : Displays the average vehicle speed of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). This average is based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset. Reset the average speed by pressing V when it is displayed.

 Fuel Economy : The center displays the approximate instantaneous fuel economy as a number and bar graph. Displayed above the bar graph is a running average of fuel economy for the most recently traveled selected distance. Displayed below the bar graph is the best average fuel economy that has been achieved for the selected distance. The selected distance is displayed at the top of the page as “last xxx mi/km.” Press V to select the distance or reset best value. Use w and x to choose the distance and press V. Press w and x to select “Reset Best Score.” Press V to reset the best average fuel economy. After reset, the best value displays “-,-” until the selected distance has been traveled. The display provides information on how current driving behavior affects the running average and how well recent driving compares to the best that has been achieved for the selected distance.

Economy Trend : Shows history of the Average Fuel Economy from the last 50 km (30 mi). Each bar represents about 5 km (3 mi) of driving. During driving the bars will shift to always reflect the most recent

distance on the right side. Press and hold V to clear the graph or to reset through the menu.

ECO Index : Provides feedback on the efficiency of current driving behavior. The bar graph shows a value that is based on current fuel consumption compared to what is expected from the vehicle with good and bad driving habits.

Timer : This display can be used as a timer. To start the timer, press V while this display is active. The display will show the amount of time that has passed since the timer was last reset. To stop the timer, press V briefly while this display is active and the timer is running. To reset the timer to zero, press and hold V while this display is active, or press p and select reset.

Battery Voltage : Displays the current battery voltage, if equipped. Battery voltage changes are normal while driving. See Charging System Light 0 108. If there is a problem with the battery charging system, the DIC will display a message.

Head-Up Display (HUD)

Warning

If the HUD image is too bright or too high in your field of view, it may take you more time to see things you need to see when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed low in your field of view.

If equipped with HUD, some information concerning the operation of the vehicle is projected onto the windshield. The information is projected through the HUD lens on the driver side of the instrument panel and focused out toward the front of the vehicle.

Caution

If you try to use the HUD image as a parking aid, you may misjudge the distance and damage your vehicle. Do not use the HUD image as a parking aid.

The HUD information can be displayed in various languages. The speedometer reading and other numerical values can be displayed in either English or metric units. The language selection is changed through the radio and the units of measurement is changed through the instrument cluster. See Settings 0 174 and “Options” under Instrument Cluster (Base and Midlevel) 0 98 or Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0 101.

HUD Display on the Windshield

The HUD may display some of the following vehicle information and vehicle messages or alerts: . Speed . Tachometer . Audio . Phone . Navigation . Collision Alert . Adaptive Cruise Control and set speed . Lane Departure Warning/Lane Keep Assist . Low Fuel

Some vehicle messages or alerts displayed in the HUD may be cleared by using the steering wheel controls. See Vehicle Messages 0 123.

The HUD control is to the left of the steering wheel. To adjust the HUD image: 1. Adjust the driver seat. 2. Start the engine. 3. Use the following settings to adjust

the HUD. $ : Press or lift to center the HUD image. The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down, not side to side. ! : Press to select the display view. Each press will change the display view. D : Lift and hold to brighten the display. Press and hold to dim the display. Continue to hold to turn the display off.

The HUD image will automatically dim and brighten to compensate for outside lighting. The HUD brightness control can also be adjusted as needed. The HUD image can temporarily light up depending on the angle and position of sunlight on the HUD display. This is normal. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.

HUD Rotation Option

This feature allows for adjusting the angle of the HUD image. Press the V on the steering wheel controls while Head-up Display Rotation is highlighted to enter Adjust Mode. Press w or x to adjust the angle of the HUD display. Press the V to save the setting or press o to cancel the setting. The vehicle must be in P (Park).
