Usually odometer but if the gas is getting low, Range.

Instantaneous mpg if I'm feeling frisky!

I always start with Oil Temp and once past 145 or so, cycle through to see the tire pressure and then back to oil temp.

Just curious what other people set their DICs at.

I leave mine blank, but check various readouts from time to time. I don't want to get used to seeing anything in the DIC that way when something flashes on I'll notice right away.

Here’s a neat and cheap remedy for those nuisance messages flashing on you’re DIC. All you need is a tape measure, a pair of scissors and a roll of black electrical tape.
Instructions;
Measure how long the DIC is.
Take scissors and cut a piece of black tape to that length.
Place black tape over annoying DIC message.
Presto, no more annoying messages!

PS Just joking around!
