Buick Encore: Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays information about the vehicle. It also displays warning messages if a system problem is detected. See Vehicle Messages. All messages appear in the DIC display in the center of the instrument cluster.
The vehicle may also have features that can be customized through the controls on the radio. See Vehicle Personalization
DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC has different displays which can be accessed by using the DIC buttons on the turn signal lever.
The DIC displays trip, fuel, and vehicle system information, and warning messages if a system problem is detected.
The bottom of the DIC display shows the position of the shift lever and the odometer. It may also show the direction the vehicle is driving.
In cold weather the DIC display may change slowly. This is normal and will move more quickly as the vehicle's interior temperature rises.
