Info Up/Info Down Switch

Scroll through any selected driver information center (DIC) switch function by pressing Info Up/Info Down.

Average Fuel Economy 

Average fuel economy is calculated using the equation: AFE = Distance/Fuel

• Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
• Fuel = The accumulated fuel consumption since the last reset of this value.

The IPC calculates AFE based on fuel and distance data sent on serial data circuit from the ECM. The value of this mode is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by selecting from the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

Average Vehicle Speed 

Average vehicle speed is calculated using the equation: Average Speed = AVS Distance/AVS Time.

• Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
• Time = The accumulated time since the last reset of this value.

Fuel Range 

This message indicates the estimated distance that the vehicle can travel under the current fuel economy and fuel level conditions since the last battery connection to the IPC. Fuel Range is calculated using the equation: Fuel Range = Range Distance/Range Fuel Used.

• Range Distance = The accumulated distance travelled since the last reset of this value.
• Range Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel delivered since the last reset of this value.

IPC receives a serial data message with fuel information and calculates fuel range. The fuel range value is retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The Fuel Range display cannot be reset. LOW is displayed when fuel range is below a predetermined value. The fuel used value is retained as long as battery power is available to the DIC. The fuel used value can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch.

• Fuel Used = The accumulated fuel used since the last reset of this value.
• Fuel Sum = The accumulated fuel sum since the last reset of this value.

Instantaneous Fuel Economy (IFE) 

IFE is calculated using the equation: IFE = Distance/Fuel Used.

• Distance = The accumulated distance travelled for the last 2 seconds
• Fuel = The accumulated fuel delivered for the last 2 seconds

The IPC calculates IFE based on fuel information message from the ECM. The distance information is calculated by the IPC using the vehicle speed information from the ECM. These values are retained during ignition OFF and can be changed between English and Metric units by accessing the DIC trip/fuel information switch. The IFE display cannot be reset.

Trip Time 

The timer records elapsed time starting from activation. When the DIC displays the timer, pressing the SET/RESET switch for 1.5 second on the DIC resets the timer. Pressing the SET/RESET button on the DIC switch starts and stops the timer. The DIC displays the timer in one of the following formats:

The DIC displays the timer in the following format: XX: XX:XX:

The first XX represents hours elapsed, the second XX represents minutes elapsed, and the third XX represents seconds elapsed. The maximum range of the timer is 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. After the maximum range is reached, the timer displays all zeros (00:00:00).
