Driver Information Center MENU TREE

Description ENGINE DATA

Driver Information Center displays vehicle and engine parametersreceived from the SAE J1708/J1587 engine data bus. The parametersare displayed on a two-line by twenty character, back lit liquid crystaldisplay (LCD) while the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off,Driver Information Center goes to 'sleep' and blanks the LCD. Whenasleep, Driver Information Center keeps the clock running and monitorsthe alarm. When the ignition is turned on again, Driver InformationCenter 'wakes up', turns on the LCD and displays the same functionmenu and field as was displayed before the ignition was turned off. Fourtactile keys allow the user to toggle and scroll through the vehicle andengine parameters, set the time and the alarm, and start, stop or resetany of the six Trips.

Reading the Display

Reading the DisplayThe Driver Information Center display has upper and lower lines. Thelines normally function independently of each other allowing two differentparameters to be displayed at once.

Upper displayline

Lower displayline

In the diagram above, the top line displays Engine Oil Pressure while thebottom line displays Coolant Temperature. Either line could be changedto display a different parameter without affecting the other line of thedisplay. Some Driver Information Center functions require that both linesbe used to display one screen. For example, if the Upper Expand key ispressed and held for longer than two seconds, the abbreviated text of theupper line will be expanded, resulting in the display below. This two linescreen will be shown for four seconds before the previous screen returns.

The Trips Setup menu in the diagram below is another example of atwo line display.

All the instructions in this manual refer to the top display line. The bottomdisplay line functions in exactly the same manner as the top.

Both display lines will be used for the description and it willremain displayed for four seconds.

Special Key Uses:

The keys can have functions other than those described above. In thesecases an arrow will appear on the line that points to the key to bepressed to perform the desired function (see the diagram below).

The Set keys are located on the right side of the display and control theline of text next to the key. Pressing and releasing a key scrolls the linedown through the different parameters or functions of a particular menu.(Refer to the Driver Information Center Menu Tree for the function menusprovided by the unit).
