Driver Information Center (DIC)

DRIVER INFO CENTER

NE AVG ECON 5.9 L/ 100 KM 6 5 F

If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information Center (DIC), the display is located on the instrument panel cluster in the tachometer gage. The DIC will show information about the vehicle and the surroundings. The DIC is capable of displaying English or French. See DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-58 to change the display from English to metric. The DIC contains a compass display to show you which direction the vehicle is driving.

Compass Variance Compass variance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas of the country, the difference is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass must be set. Automatic Compass Calibration The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is new, the calibration process may not be complete. In these cases, the calibration symbol C will be displayed where the compass reading is normally displayed. To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large metal objects, make three 360 degree turns. The calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading will be displayed.

3-56

Manual Compass Calibration If the compass appears erratic and the calibration symbol does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the calibration mode. To get into this mode, do the following: 1. Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the

compass/temperature mode.

2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than

three seconds.

ZONE # PRESS & HOLD SET TO CHANGE: This display mode will be displayed when you are manually calibrating the system. The current zone number for compass variance will be displayed in place of the # symbol. Use the SET button to select the zone number from the graphic shown to select the current area of the country that you are driving in.

PRESS SET TO CALIBRATE COMPASS: After selecting your zone, press the MODE button and this will be displayed on the DIC. Press the SET button and complete three 360 degree turns in an area free from large metal objects. The following two messages will toggle in the display until you calibrate the compass:

DRIVE VEHICLE IN CIRCLE CALIBRATING COMPASS

When calibration is complete, the display will return to its normal mode.

3-57

DIC Controls and Displays When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the DIC will display the following: BUICK: BUICK will be displayed for three seconds. DRIVER #: This message will be displayed for another three seconds after BUCK appears in the display. This display lets the driver know which driver's remote keyless entry transmitter is being used and the driver's customization features.

The DIC controls are located to the left of the steering column on the instrument panel.

The DIC will be in the last mode displayed when the engine was turned off. To select a different mode, press MODE. The display will cycle through its options at each press of MODE.

3-58

MODE: This button lets you cycle through the options on the display.

SET: This button is used to select and set the options to your preference. The DIC will always display the compass reading and the outside temperature. If the temperature is below 38°F (3"C), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. AVG ECONOMY (Average Economy): Average fuel economy is viewed as a long term approximation of your overall driving conditions. To learn the average fuel economy from a new starting point, press and hold the SET button while the average fuel economy is displayed on the DIC. The average fuel economy will set to zero.

INST ECONOMY (Instant Economy): Instant fuel economy varies with your driving conditions, such as acceleration, braking and the grade of the road being traveled.

FUEL RANGE: The fuel range is an estimated distance that your vehicle can travel on the remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate the range is based on your driving history since the last reset of the average speed.

FUEL USED: The fuel used display will show you how much fuel has been used since the last time it was reset. To reset the fuel used to zero, press and hold the SET button while the fuel used is displayed on the DIC and until the display goes to zero. AVG SPEED (Average Speed): The average speed display will show your average speed from when you first started your vehicle. To reset the average speed, press and hold the SET button while the average speed is displayed on the DIC and until the speed resets to your current speed. OIL LIFE LEFT HOLD SET TO RESET: This message displays the current percentage of the GM Oil Life System. Be careful not to reset this display other than when the oil has been changed. See “How to Reset the System” under Engine Oil on page 5-13 for more information. TIRE PRESSURE: The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large change in the pressure of one tire. You must begin driving before the system will detect u .-, I ” ” ” on page 5-56. USE SET TO SELECT ENGLISH METRIC: You can use this display to select English or metric. Press the SET button to toggle between English or metric. The DIC, the odometer, the trip odometer and head-up display will change.

OFF: No driver information will be displayed in this mode. If the DIC is left in this mode for more than three seconds, the display will turn off. Press the MODE button to start the DIC. DIC Vehicle Personalization The DIC is used to program the choices of two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 in the DIC display. You will let the DIC know which driver you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter. Each remote keyless entry transmitter was pre-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2. Each transmitter may be programmed differently for each driver’s preferences. After you press the LOCK button on your transmitter and the ignition key is in ON, the DIC will display the identified driver number. The vehicle will also recall the vehicle customization features that were last programmed to correspond to your transmitter. If you unlock your vehicle using your key instead of your

Audio System(s) Notice: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle - like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be sure you can add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delphi Electronics radio or other systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check federal rules covering msbiie radio arid telephone units. Your audio system has been designed to operate easily and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your audio system can do and how to operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the most out of the advanced enqineerinq that went into it. Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio system even after the ignition is turned off. See Retained Accessory Power under lgnition Positions on page 2-20.

To get to SCV, press the TUNE/AUDIO button repeatedly until SPEED VOL is displayed. Turn the TUNE/AUDlO button to select OFF, MIN, MED or MAX. Each higher choice allows for more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds. Then, as you drive, SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary, to overcome noise at any speed. The volume level should always sound the same to you as you drive. If you don’t want to use SCV, select OFF.

Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of programming, receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies, display messages from radio stations, and seek to stations with traffic announcements.

This system relies upon receiving specific information from these stations and will only work when the information is available. In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect information that will cause the radio features to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio station. While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name or the call letters will appear on the display, instead of the frequency.
