Vehicles with a Driver Information
Center (DIC) can display:
• Time
• Outside temperature
• Date or audio system, if it is
turned on
• Trip computer, on vehicles with
this feature
• Warning messages
The type of information and how it
is displayed depends on the
equipment of the vehicle and the
settings of the trip computer
and audio system. See DIC
Operation and Displays (Uplevel
DIC and Audio) on page 4-26 or
DIC Operation and Displays
(Base Level DIC and Audio) on
page 4-32 and Audio System(s) on
page 6-1 for more information.
An F in the display indicates a fault.
See your dealer/retailer for service.
Outside Air Temperature
The DIC shows the temperature
outside of the vehicle in either
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. A fall in temperature
is displayed immediately, while a
rise in temperature is displayed after
a short delay.
On vehicles with the base level DIC,
Q
displays when the outside air
temperature is cold enough to create
icy road conditions.
On vehicles with the uplevel DIC,
“Slippery road” displays.
The road surface may already be
icy even though the DIC shows
a few degrees above freezing.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
