The base instrument cluster can be identified by the single TRIP SHAFT button (24) located to the left of the Tachometer (5). The odometer display (7) doubles as the temperature display when selected by toggling through the odometer menu using the TRIP SHAFT button.
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display (23). The display is located in the lower left part of the instrument cluster below the fuel and engine temperature gauges. This system conveniently allows the driver to select a variety of useful information by pressing the STEP button (25) to the right of the EVIC display. The EVIC displays information related to the following:
- System Status
- Vehicle information warning message displays
- Personal Settings (customer programmable features)
- Compass display

- Trip computer functions
- UConnect™ hands-free communication system displays - If Equipped

The EVIC system is comprised of several different components. Those components are:
- Instrument Cluster
- EVIC STEP Button
- Ambient Temperature Sensor
- Remote Compass Module (RCM)
- Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus

The EVIC display and STEP button is part of the Instrument Cluster assembly and is not serviced as a separate component. If the display is inoperative the complete Instrument Cluster assembly must be replaced. Refer to Electrical/Instrument Cluster - Removal .
