Driver Information Center (DIC)
DRIVER INFO CENTER
NE AVG ECON 5.9
65 F L/ 100 KM
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.
