DIC Information Displays
The following is the list of all possible DIC information displays and their locations. Some of the information displays may not be available for your particular vehicle.

Control Panel
Trip 1 or Trip 2 and Average Fuel Economy: The Trip display shows the current distance traveled, in either kilometer (km) or miles (mi), since the trip odometer was the last reset. To reset the current trip, touch and hold the touchscreen display when the trip odometer is displayed. The Average Fuel Economy display 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. The Average Fuel Economy can be reset along with the trip odometer by touching and holding the touchscreen display when the trip odometer is displayed.

Left Zone

• Time/Date: Displays current date and time information.
• Auto Lane Change: Displays the status of a driver-requested lane change when Super Cruise is active.
• Efficiency Gauge: Displays a gauge that is a guide to driving in an efficient manner. Efficient Driving is shown by a green ball in the center of the gauge. Inefficient driving is shown by a yellow ball above the center of the gauge. Aggressive braking is shown by a yellow ball below the center of the gauge.
• Average Speed: This shows the average speed of the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speeds recorded since the last reset of this value. The average speed can be reset by touching reset on the vehicle information screen.
• Traffic Sign Memory: If equipped, the detected speed limit is displayed in the lower left of the speedometer gauge. If an additional sign is detected with the speed limit sign a + symbol is displayed. Additionally, the current detected traffic sign is displayed in the Traffic Sign Memory page in the DIC.
  If another page on the DIC menu is selected and the Traffic Sign Memory page is chosen again, the last recognized traffic sign will be displayed. The indication of multiple signs on the display is possible. Touch the main infotainment display while this display is active to reset or turn the Traffic Sign alerts on or off. Upon successful reset, a no-sign graphic appears until the next traffic sign is detected or provided by the navigation system map data. When alerts are turned on and another page on the DIC menu is selected, a Sign Detected alert displays when a new traffic sign is recognized. The alert can be dismissed by pressing the thumbwheel. In some cases, traffic sign memory is cleared automatically by the system.

• Trailer Brake: On vehicles with the Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC) system, the trailer brake display appears in the DIC. Trailer GAIN shows the trailer gain setting.  This setting can be adjusted from 0.0 to 10.0 with either a trailer connected or disconnected. TRAILER OUTPUT shows the power output to the trailer any time a trailer with electric brakes is connected. Output is displayed as a bar graph. Dotted lines may appear in the output display if a trailer is not connected.
• 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 accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.
• Fuel Economy: Displays information about current and average fuel economy.
• Oil Pressure: Shows the engine oil pressure in kPa (kilopascals) or psi (pounds per square inch).
• Engine Hours: Shows the total number of hours the engine has run.
• Coolant Temperature: Shows the temperature of the coolant in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
• Transmission Fluid Temperature: Shows the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid in either degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
• 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. To reset, see Engine Air Filter Life System 0 345.
