DESCRIPTION





The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features a driver-interactive display (2). The display is located in the lower part of the tachometer (1) on the right side of the instrument cluster (3).





The EVIC system conveniently allows the driver to navigate through and select a variety of useful information by pressing the EVIC function buttons located on the steering wheel. The EVIC displays information related to the following:

- Steering Wheel Function Buttons
- Ambient Temperature Sensor
- Remote Compass Module (RCM)
