Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-69 for more information. 3-47 Information Button Items Q4R (Information): Press this button to scroll through the following items: Odometer Press the information button until the odometer displays. This mode shows the distance the vehicle has been driven in either miles or kilometers. Trip A and Trip B Press the information button until A or B displays. This mode shows the current distance traveled in either miles or kilometers since the last reset for each trip odometer. Both trip odometers can be used at the same time. The display will show the odometer on the top line and the trip odometer information, either A or B, on the bottom line. Each trip odometer can be reset to zero separately by pressing the set/reset button while the desired trip odometer is displayed. There is also a retroactive trip odometer function that performs the following for each trip odometer: If the vehicle’s speed has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h) during the current ignition cycle, this function will set the trip odometer to the distance driven during the current ignition cycle. If the vehicle’s speed has not exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), this function will set the trip odometer to the distance driven during the previous ignition cycle plus the distance driven during the current ignition cycle. Press and hold the set/reset button for three seconds, then release the button. The retroactive trip odometer value will be set into the currently displayed trip odometer. Time Elapsed Press the information button until TIME ELAPSED :00 displays. This mode is like a stopwatch, in that you can clock the time it takes to get from one point to another. Each of the ﬁelds for the hours, minutes, and seconds are two numeric digits. 3-48 (cid:127) (cid:127) Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the set/reset button to start the timing feature. Press the set/reset button again to stop it. If you will be starting and stopping your vehicle, during a trip for instance, the TIME ELAPSED feature will automatically start timing where it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and hold the set/reset button for approximately 1.5 seconds. The display will return to zero. Average Speed Press the information button until AVERAGE SPEED displays. This mode shows the average speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on the various vehicle speed recorded since the last reset of this value. To reset the value, press the information button to display AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. Fuel Range Press the information button until FUEL RANGE displays. This mode shows the approximate number of remaining miles or kilometers the vehicle can be driven without refueling. Fuel range is based on several factors, including distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity, etc. This estimate will change if driving conditions change. For example, if driving in traffic and making frequent stops, this mode may read one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number may change even though the same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving. Fuel range cannot be reset. If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW will display followed by the LOW FUEL message. See “LOW FUEL” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53 for more information. Average Fuel Economy Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY displays. This mode shows the approximate average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY, press and hold the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. 3-49 Instantaneous Fuel Economy Press the information button until INST ECONOMY displays. This mode shows the current fuel economy at a particular moment and will change frequently as driving conditions change. This mode shows the instantaneous fuel economy in miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km). Unlike average fuel economy, this screen cannot be reset. Battery Press the information button until BATTERY displays. This mode shows the current battery voltage. If there is a problem with the battery charging system, a DIC message will display. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53 for more information. Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage based on the state of the battery. The battery voltage may ﬂuctuate when viewing this information on the DIC. This is normal. Oil Life Press the information button until OIL LIFE displays. This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99% on the display, that means 99% of the current oil life remains. The engine oil life system will alert you to change your oil on a schedule consistent with your driving conditions. When the remaining oil life is low, the LOW OIL PRESSURE message will appear on the display. You should change your oil as soon as possible. See Engine Oil on page 5-15. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 for more information. Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself after each oil change. It will not reset itself. Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE accidentally at any time other than when the oil has just been changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change. To reset the engine oil life system, see Engine Oil Life System on page 5-18. The display will show 100% when the system is reset. 3-50 Menu Button Items q (Menu): Press this button to scroll through the following items: Units Press the menu button until UNITS displays.

Your vehicle may also have customization capabilities that allow you to program certain features to one preferred setting. Customization features can only be programmed to one setting on the vehicle and cannot be programmed to a preferred setting for up to two drivers. See DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 3-69 for additional information on personal programming. Compass Zone (Uplevel Only) Press the menu button until COMPASS ZONE displays. Press the set/reset button to change the compass zone. Zones 1 through 15 are available. The direction the vehicle is moving will be displayed in the top right corner of the DIC display. 3-51 (cid:127) Compass Calibration (Uplevel Only) Under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to compensate for compass variance and reset the zone through the DIC. Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass in the vehicle could give false readings. In order to do this, the compass must be set or calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle is travelling. To adjust for compass variance, use the following procedure: 1. Press the menu button until COMPASS ZONE displays. 3-52 2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance zone number on the map. 3. Press the set/reset button to scroll through and select the appropriate variance zone. 4. Press the menu button to advance to the COMPASS CALIBRATION screen. 5. To start the compass calibration, press and hold the set/reset button until CALIBRATION BEGUN DRIVE UNTIL DONE appears in the DIC display. 6. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle two times to activate the compass. When the calibration is complete, the DIC will display CALIBRATION FINISHED. 7. If the message CAL appears in the DIC, you must manually put the compass into the calibration mode again. Repeat Steps 1 through 6.

Using an MP3 CD MP3 Format If you burn your own MP3 disc on a personal computer: (cid:127) Make sure the MP3 ﬁles are recorded on a CD-R disc. (cid:127) Make sure to ﬁnalize the disc when burning an MP3 disc, using multiple sessions. It is usually better to burn the disc all at once. Files can be recorded with a variety of ﬁxed or variable bit rates. Song title, artist name, and album will be available for display by the radio when recorded using ID3 tags version 1 and 2. (cid:127) Do not mix standard audio and MP3 ﬁles on one disc. (cid:127) Make sure playlists have a .pls, or .m3u, or .rmp extension, other ﬁle extensions may not work. The player will be able to read and play a maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 ﬁles. Long ﬁle names, folder names, or playlist names may use more disc memory space than necessary. To conserve space on the disc, minimize the length of the ﬁle, folder or playlist names. You can also play an MP3 CD that was recorded using no ﬁle folders. The system can support up to 11 folders in depth, though, keep the depth of the folders to a minimum in order to keep down the complexity and confusion in trying to locate a particular folder during playback. If a CD contains more than the maximum of 50 folders, 50 playlists, 10 sessions, and 255 ﬁles the player will let you access and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the maximum will be ignored. Root Directory The root directory will be treated as a folder. If the root directory has compressed audio ﬁles, the directory will be displayed as F1 ROOT. All ﬁles contained directly under the root directory will be accessed prior to any root directory folders. However, playlists (Px) will always be accessed before root folders or ﬁles. 3-92 (cid:127) Empty Directory or Folder If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in the ﬁle structure that contains only folders/subfolders and no compressed ﬁles directly beneath them, the player will advance to the next folder in the ﬁle structure that contains compressed audio ﬁles and the empty folder will not be displayed or numbered. No Folder When the CD contains only compressed ﬁles, the ﬁles will be located under the root folder. The next and previous folder functions will have no function on a CD that was recorded without folders or playlists. When displaying the name of the folder the radio will display ROOT. When the CD contains only playlists and compressed audio ﬁles, but no folders, all ﬁles will be located under the root folder. The folder down and the folder up buttons will search playlists (Px) ﬁrst and then go to the root folder. When the radio displays the name of the folder the radio will display ROOT. Order of Play Tracks will be played in the following order: (cid:127) Play will begin from the ﬁrst track in the ﬁrst playlist and will continue sequentially through all tracks in each playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has been played, play will continue from the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst playlist. If the CD does not contain any playlists, then play will begin from the ﬁrst track under the root directory. When all tracks from the root directory have been played, play will continue from ﬁles according to their numerical listing. After playing the last track from the last folder, play will begin again at the ﬁrst track of the ﬁrst folder or root directory. When play enters a new folder, the display will not automatically show the new folder name unless you have chosen the folder mode as the default display. See the information button later in this section for more information. The new track name will appear on the display. 3-93 (cid:127) File System and Naming The song name that will be displayed will be the song name that is contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not present in the ID3 tag, then the radio will display the ﬁle name without the extension (such as .mp3) as the track name. Track names longer than 32 characters or four pages will be shortened. The display will not show parts of words on the last page of text and the extension of the ﬁlename will not be displayed. Preprogrammed Playlists You can access preprogrammed playlists which were created by WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software, however, you will not have editing capability. These playlists will be treated as special folders containing compressed audio song ﬁles. Playing an MP3 Insert a CD partway into the slot, label side up. The player will pull it in, and READING will appear on the display. The CD should begin playing and the CD symbol will appear on the display. If the ignition or radio is turned off with a CD in the player it will stay in the player. When the ignition or radio is turned on, the CD will start to play where it stopped, if it was the last selected audio source. 3-94 As each new track starts to play, the track number will appear on the display.
