Driver Information Center (Dic) - Buick 2006 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

Driver Information Center (DIC)

Your vehicle may have a Driver Information Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display located in
the instrument panel cluster, below the speedometer.
The DIC buttons are located on the center of the
instrument panel, below the center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC on the uplevel vehicle will display the
WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2) if a personalized key 1 or 2
is used, and then the information that was last
displayed before the engine was turned off.
The DIC on the base level vehicle displays the odometer
and trip odometers only.
The DIC on the uplevel vehicle displays the odometer,
trip odometers, fuel economy, trip computer, vehicle
system, and compass display information. It also
displays warning messages if a system problem is
detected. In addition, the DIC on the uplevel vehicle
displays phone numbers that are called using the
®
OnStar system, if equipped. See OnStar
on page 2-38.
The outside air temperature automatically appears in
the bottom right corner of the uplevel DIC display
when viewing the trip/odometer screens, fuel screens
and some of the gages screens. If the outside air
temperature is at or below 37°F (3°C), the temperature
reading will toggle between displaying the outside
temperature and the word ICE for two minutes.
If there is a problem with the system that controls the
temperature display, the letters OC (open circuit) or
SC (short circuit) will appear on the display. If this
occurs, have the vehicle serviced by your GM dealer.
The DIC on the uplevel vehicle also allows some
features to be customized or personalized. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73 for
more information.
