Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Operation

OPERATION

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) uses both non-switched and ignition switched sources of battery current so that some of its features remain operational at any time, while others may only operate with the ignition switch in the On position. When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the EVIC display will return to the last function being displayed before the ignition was turned to the Off position.

The EVIC system is comprised of several different components that communicate over the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus. If the system is inoperative a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information must be used to diagnose the system.





The EVIC function buttons are used to operate the different functions of the EVIC system. Pressing and releasing the MENU button (1) allows the driver to select the Compass/Temperature, Trip Computer, Personal Settings or System Status functions. The STEP button (4) is used to toggle through options or features of the Trip Computer, Personal Settings or System Status functions. Pressing and releasing the RESET button (3) allows the selection of setting or resetting of the function currently displayed at that time. Pressing and releasing the C/T (compass/temperature) button (2) will cause the EVIC to return to the compass/temperature display mode from any other mode.
