Message Center Displays

Compass Display 

The compass is displayed as a 1 or 2 character display in the message center that indicates the current direction of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW) or as an image of a compass in the infotainment display area. The IPC receives the GPS compass direction from the APIM over the HS-CAN3.

Distance Indication And Alert 

The IPC displays the distance indication and alert in the RH side of the IPC. Distance indication and alert provides a graphical indication of the time gap to other preceding vehicles traveling in the same direction. The distance display becomes a solid image that changes color based on the distance of the vehicle in front. As the vehicle approaches a distance that requires an alert, the image turns from gray to amber and then to red. Distance indication and alert will not display when the adaptive cruise control system is active.

Factory-Transport Mode Display 

During vehicle build, some modules, such as the IPC and the BCM, are set in factory mode. While in the factory mode the IPC displays FACTORY MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. If the vehicle is set in factory mode, the system does not automatically exit the mode and must be manually set to either the transport or normal operation mode.

When the vehicle build is complete, the vehicle is set to transport mode. While in transport mode, the IPC displays TRANSPORT MODE CONTACT DEALER in the message center. Transport mode is used to reduce the drain on the battery during longer periods where the vehicle is not used. Various systems may be altered or are disabled when in the transport mode. The vehicle automatically reverts to normal operation mode after being driven 80 km (50 mi). Refer to: Transport Mode Deactivation .

The IPC receives the vehicle mode message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the vehicle mode message from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.

Keypad Factory Code Display 

The message center can display the original keypad factory code when requested. See Factory Keycode Retrieval. Refer to: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - System Operation and Component Description .

Lane Keeping System Feature Display 

The IPC displays the lane keeping system feature in the RH side of the IPC. When the driver has activated the lane keeping system, lane keeping system feature display appears. When selected off, the IPC turns off the lane keeping system feature display. The IPC receives the network messages required to operate the lane keeping system feature from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the network messages from the IPMA over the HS-CAN2. Refer to: Lane Departure Warning - Overview . Refer to: Lane Departure Warning - System Operation and Component Description .

Odometer 

The IPC receives the odometer count message from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the odometer count from the PCM over the HS-CAN1. The IPC monitors the odometer count input from the GWM and commands the odometer with a digital display in the message center.

Oil Life Message Center Display 

The IPC provides message center messages to inform the driver about the oil life status and that an oil change is required. The duration of the interval between 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 oil level. The PCM calculates and provides the engine oil life percent message to the IPC. The IPC further converts the remaining oil life using the driver's configured oil life start value and displays the oil life percentage, indicating the remaining oil life. The oil change minder can be reset at any time by the driver.

The IPC receives the engine oil life and engine oil life data reset messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3.

The GWM receives the engine oil life and engine oil life data reset messages from the PCM over the HS-CAN1.

TPMS 

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

The IPC receives the tire pressure system status and tire pressure placard data messages from the GWM over the HS-CAN3. The GWM receives the tire pressure system status and tire pressure placard data messages from the BCM over the HS-CAN1.
