Press the trip/fuel button to display the battery voltage.

the owner manual.
BATTERY VOLTAGE
This display shows the current battery voltage.
If the voltage is in the normal range, the value will display.
For example, the display may read BATTERY VOLTAGE
13.2 VOLTS. If the voltage is high or low, the display will
read HIGH or LOW. Your vehicle’s charging system
regulates voltage based on the state of the battery.
The battery voltage may fluctuate when viewing this
information on the DIC. This is normal. See “Charging
System Light” in the owner manual for more information.
If there is a problem with the battery charging system,
the DIC will display a message. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-12.
INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY
This display normally shows instantaneous fuel
economy. When the vehicle is in Auto Stop mode
AUTO STOP will be displayed. See Starting the Vehicle
on page 2-12 for more information. The display may
also show if the vehicle is currently in V4 MODE or
V8 MODE. See “Active Fuel Management” in the owner
manual for more information.
DIC Warnings and Messages
Warning messages are displayed on the DIC to
notify the driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver to
correct the condition. If there is more than one message
that needs to be displayed they will appear one after
another. Some messages may not require immediate
action but you should press the select button or the trip
odometer reset stem on the instrument panel cluster to
acknowledge that you received the message and clear
it from the display. Some messages cannot be cleared
from the display because they are more urgent; these
messages require action before they can be removed
from the DIC display. The following are the possible
messages that can be displayed and some information
about them. For information on other DIC messages,
see “DIC Warnings and Messages” in the owner manual
Index.
