Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When equipped, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is located in the overhead console. The EVIC supplements the standard vehicle instrumentation. The EVIC also provides additional driver information, warnings and an interface to enable and disable vehicle programmable features and displays memory system messages. Most of the EVIC display information is received over the PCI bus. The EVIC sends and receives data over the PCI bus, communicating with the BCM, PCM, and the Instrument Cluster.

The EVIC uses a vacuum fluorescent (VF) display to supply the vehicle operator with a compass heading, outdoor temperature, average fuel economy, miles to empty, miles to service, tire pressure (if equipped), trip odometer, and elapsed ignition on time.

The EVIC function buttons are labeled C/T, RESET, STEP, and MENU.

The optional Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) known as HomeLink® is integrated with the EVIC. The three UGDO buttons are labeled with dots to indicate the channel number.
