For 1990-2009 cars

Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).

All messages will appear in the DIC display located in the center of the instrument panel cluster. The DIC buttons are located on the center of the instrument panel.

The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short delay, the DIC will display the information that was last displayed before the engine was turned off.

The DIC displays trip, fuel, and vehicle system information, and warning messages if a system problem is detected. The top of the DIC display shows the shift lever position indicator. See Automatic Transmission Operation for more information.

If your vehicle has these feature, the DIC also displays the compass direction and the outside air temperature when viewing the trip and fuel information. If there is a problem with the system that controls the temperature display, the numbers will be replaced with dashes. If this occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for an extended period of time, consult your dealer/retailer. Under certain circumstances, especially when the engine is idling, a delay updating the temperature display is normal.

The DIC also allows some features to be personalized. See DIC Vehicle Personalization for more information.
