Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Description and Operation

E.V.l.C. HEAD MONITOR

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (E.V.l.C. head monitor) is a module located in the overhead console and used to provide the driver with supplemental information such as Time, Outside Temperature, Compass direction, and fuel economy. The E.V.I.C. head also receives messages (for reference only; see Test 3 for list of messages) from other modules on the CCD bus regarding the status of a wide variety of systems and components. Any failure of a monitored system results in a warning message on the E.V.I.C. head.

To set the E.V.l.C. Head compass use the following procedures. Place the E.V.I.C. Head in '"TEMP" mode. Press and hold the "TEMP" and "SET buttons for (5 to 6) seconds. An asterisk will appear in the upper right hand corner of the display. After (5 to 6) seconds the display will change and toggle between messages. Press the '"TEMP" button once. The E.V.l.C. will begin to display "SETTING COMPASS". The "SETTING COMPASS" mode will be displayed for up to (60) sixty seconds while compass is calibrating. When the E.V.l.C. has finished, the display will toggle between "FACE CAR OPPOSITE" and "DIRECTION PRESS TEMP". Turn the car around 180 degrees in the opposite direction and press the "TEMP" button once. The E.V.l.C. will display "SETTING COMPASS" again. The display will return to normal operation automatically when the calibration process has been completed and any variance has been reset.
