Information Displays

Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level)

The DIC displays information about your vehicle. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected. All messages appear in the DIC display in the center of the instrument cluster.

DIC Operation and Displays
Some of the displayed functions differ between vehicle driving and standstill and some functions are only active when the vehicle is driving.

Type 1

The DIC has different displays which can be accessed by using the DIC buttons on the turn signal lever.

DIC Buttons

1.  : Press to set, or press and hold to clear, the menu item displayed.
   
   
2.  : Use the band to scroll through the items in each menu.
   
   
   
3. SELECT: Press to access the cluster applications. This button is also used to return to or exit the last screen displayed on the DIC.

Type 2

: Move the thumbwheel up

or down in a list.

: Press to move between the interactive display zones in the cluster.

Thumbwheel: Press to open a menu or select a menu item. Press and hold to reset values on certain screens.

Trip/Fuel Menu (TRIP) Items
Press SELECT on the turn signal lever until the VEHICLE menu is displayed. Use or thumbwheel up/down to scroll through the menu items. Not all items are available on every vehicle.

The following is a list of all possible menu items:

Speed: Shows the vehicle speed in either kilometres per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).

Trip 1/2 or A/B: Shows the current distance travelled, in either kilometre (km) or miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last reset.

This also shows the approximate average liters per 100 kilometres (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.

Fuel Range: This 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.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy: Displays the current fuel economy in liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number reflects only the approximate fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and changes frequently as driving conditions change. This display cannot be reset.

Vehicle Information Menu (VEHICLE) Items
Press MENU on the turn signal lever until the VEHICLE menu is displayed. Use m or thumbwheel up/down to scroll through the menu items. Not all items are available on every vehicle.

The following is a list of all possible menu items:

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. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended.

The Oil Life display must be reset after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Do not 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.

Air Filter Life: This shows an estimate of the engine air filter’s remaining useful life and the state of the system. Engine Air Filter Life 95% means 95% of the current air filter life remains. Messages will be displayed based on the engine air filter life and the state of the system. When the REPLACE AT NEXT OIL CHANGE message displays, the engine air filter should be replaced at the time of the next oil change. When the REPLACE SOON message displays, the engine air filter should be replaced at the earliest convenience. The Air Filter Life display must be reset after the engine air filter replacement.

Tire Pressure: This 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.

Following Distance: When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is not engaged, the current follow time to the vehicle ahead is displayed as a time value on this page. If equipped and when ACC has been engaged, the display switches to the gap setting page. This page shows the current gap setting along with the vehicle ahead indicator.

Brake Pad Life: This displays an estimate of the remaining life of the front and rear brake pads. Messages will display based on brake pad wear and the state of the system. Reset the Brake Pad Life display after replacing the brake pads.

Units: Choose US, Imperial, or metric units by pressing or the thumbwheel while the desired item is highlighted.

ECO Drive Assist Menu (ECO) Items
This menu is only available on some vehicles. Press MENU on the turn signal lever until the ECO menu is displayed. Use or thumbwheel up/down to scroll through the menu items. Not all items are available on every vehicle.

The following is a list of all possible menu items:

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.”

Top Consumers: A list of top comfort consumers currently switched on is displayed in descending order. Fuel-saving potential is indicated. During sporadic driving conditions, the engine will activate the heated rear window automatically. In this event, the heated rear window is indicated as one of the top consumers, without activation by the driver.

Economy Trend: Shows the 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 l or thumbwheel to clear the graph.

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.

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.

• Do not attach any stickers, decals, or accessories on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
• Do not attempt to adjust or move the HUD screen or the mechanical door on top of the instrument panel by hand.
• Do not place any objects near the HUD. Objects may obstruct the image display, and/or interference from the objects during activation may influence the operation or could damage the display.
• Do not put any drinks near the HUD. If liquid flows into the display, the unit could be damaged.
• Use caution when opening or closing the HUD screen to prevent objects from falling inside the mechanical door.
• Use only a soft cloth to clean the HUD screen. Do not use any organic solvents, detergents, or polishing materials to prevent damage to the HUD display.

If equipped with HUD, some information concerning the operation of the vehicle is projected onto the screen on top of the instrument panel. The information is projected through the HUD lens on the driver’s 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.
