Information-On-Demand Displays

Auto Stop/Start 

The auto stop/start displays in the message center as a selectable on-demand display. The auto stop/start display provides system status, such as system not available or system deactivated by driver.

Engine Hour/Engine Idle Hour 

The engine hour and engine idle hour display in the message center as a selectable on-demand display. The engine hour displays the number of hours the engine has been running, including drive hours. The engine idle hours displays the hours of engine idle.

Engine Oil Life 

The instrument cluster provides messages to inform the driver about the engine oil life status, engine oil life reset status and when an engine oil change is required. The duration of the interval between engine oil changes is calculated in the PCM and varies due to driving conditions. The PCM assumes a base mileage of 16, 090 km (10, 000 mi) or 1 year for normal driving. However, this number is adjusted down for conditions such as high engine temperature, high engine rpm, use of flex fuel, and possibly low engine oil level. The PCM calculates and provides the engine oil life percent message to the IPC. The IPC further converts the remaining engine oil life using the driver's configured engine oil life start value and displays the engine oil life percentage, indicating the remaining engine oil life. The engine oil change minder can be reset at any time by the driver.

MyKey 

The IPC provides message center displays for the MyKey® feature. MyKey® displays are controlled through the IPC software based on the MyKey® settings configured through the center touchscreen display and the type of key in use (MyKey® or administrator key). The MyKey® function also uses other messages received by the IPC for other indications such as vehicle speed for speed limiter displays.

Navigation (Near) 

The navigation display provides the turn by turn directions to the selected destination in the message center. The destination is selected in the center touchscreen display.

Off Road 

The off road display in the message center is a selectable on-demand display. The off road display shows graphics depicting the vehicle pitch, vehicle roll and front wheel turning angle when the vehicle is in an off road mode or in any driving condition.

Power Distribution 

The power distribution display indicates the level of power applied to each wheel. As power is applied to the wheels, the area directly in front of each wheel in the graphic display fills in. The lowest power displayed is the closest to the wheel. As the amount of power sent to wheels increases, the area fills in either forward (front wheels) or rearward (rear wheels) of the wheels.

Seatbelts (Including Rear Seats) 

The seatbelt display in the message center displays a graphic depicting the interior of the vehicle and all seating positions. The IPC uses the seatbelt buckle switch status from the RCM to display the seatbelt buckle status at each seating position.

TPMS 

The IPC provides a message center display showing each tire on a vehicle image to indicate specific tire pressures.

Trailer Information 

The trailer information function, located in the trailer information tab, allows the driver to select one of the programmed trailers or a default trailer and track or reset their mileage. When a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the trailer information screens display the information for the most recently connected trailer. The user can change the active trailer to another named trailer. This feature also provides step-by-step instruction for connecting standard trailers.

The trailer light display provides trailer running, stop and turn lights whenever a trailer is connected. The display shows an image of a trailer from the rear with individual lamps in typical locations. The lights are either filled or highlighted depending on the lamps status along with a text status for the lighting system.

Trip 1, Trip 2 

The Trip 1 and Trip 2 displays provide a trip timer, average fuel economy and total trip distance traveled. The customer can reset the Trip data in the message center display. The Trip displays are calculated internally in the IPC.
