DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER
(DIC)

The DIC informs you about the
status of many of your vehicle’s
systems and is used to display driver
personalization features and
warning/status messages. The
display is located at the bottom of
the instrument panel cluster. The
DIC controls are located on the
instrument panel to the right of
the steering wheel.

Pressing the top
or bottom of the
upper button
allows you to
scroll through the
available features
that will appear in
the DIC display.
