DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER
(DIC)
The DIC informs you of 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.
These include the odometer, trip
information, tire pressure, oil life and
language selection.
Warnings and Messages
If a problem is sensed in one of your
vehicle’s systems, a warning or
message will appear in the DIC
display. Possible warnings or
messages include: ABS ACTIVE,
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, LOW BRAKE
FLUID, and SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM
(see your Owner Manual for a
complete list of possible warnings
and messages).
After a warning or message appears,
press the RESET button to clear the
display screen for further use.
Remember, pressing RESET only
makes the message disappear; it
does not resolve the problem.
Personalization Features
Your XLR offers personalization
capabilities that allow you to program
certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two drivers. Personalization
features will be recalled when the
vehicle senses the Keyless Access
transmitter as the door is opened or
when the appropriate memory
button on the driver seat is pressed.
Note: Your vehicle’s warnings and
messages provide critical information that
can prevent damage to your vehicle.

familiar with the information displayed and
the action required.
