Center, Electronic Vehicle Information: Operation
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) uses both non-switched and ignition switched sources of battery current so that some of its features remain operational at any time, while others may only operate with the ignition switch placed in the ON position.
Most EVIC messages automatically pop up and display when conditions warrant. The EVIC will display some message types until the condition that caused the message is corrected. Certain other message types will be automatically stored by the EVIC for later retrieval. When conditions warrant that multiple messages be displayed in the EVIC Thin Film Transistor (TFT) display at the same time, the EVIC uses arbiter programming to sort and prioritize the cycle sequence and duration of each message to be displayed.
The SRT Hellcat incorporates a Boost Pressure Gauge into the EVIC to inform the driver of the amount of boost being created by the supercharger on the 6.2L engine. The boost pressure gauge will appear in the center of the EVIC at engine startup by default.
Optional function and feature menus can be navigated, selected and displayed using the EVIC switch pod in the left horizontal spoke of the steering wheel. When the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, the EVIC display will return to the last main menu, sub menu or function being displayed before the ignition was placed in the OFF position.
The five push buttons contained in the switch pod are used to manually navigate and select information in the EVIC system.
- DOWN ARROW - Pressing and releasing the DOWN ARROW push button allows the operator to scroll downward through the various EVIC main menus and sub menus.
- LEFT ARROW - Pressing and releasing the LEFT ARROW push button returns you to the previous sub menu or main menu.
- OK - Push the OK button to access/select the information screens or submenu screens of the Main Menu item. Push and hold the OK arrow button for one second to reset the displayed/selected features that can be reset.
- RIGHT ARROW - Pressing and releasing the RIGHT ARROW (SELECT) push button allows the operator to navigate, select and reset items or settings in the currently displayed EVIC main menu or sub menu. Pressing and holding the RIGHT ARROW (SELECT) push button for two seconds provides a global reset of all of those EVIC features that can be reset, whether currently displayed or not.
- UP ARROW - Pressing and releasing the UP ARROW push button allows the operator to scroll upward through the various EVIC main menus and sub menus.
Three additional push buttons may be found in the EVIC switch pod, but have no function in the EVIC system. The Uconnect® Phone (1) and Uconnect® Voice Command push buttons are functional only for vehicles equipped with those optional systems.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC displays the following messages.
