The other day I was cruising I-10 when the DIC display I have used since day one switched to another one. I had not touched the steering wheel control which would enable the different settings.
Subsequent attempts to retrieve my desired setting, which showed the RPM's, distance remaining before fillup, gas mileage, and speed, were to no avail. Anyone else experience similar issues?
I will take it to the dealer - maybe there's a fix available (reflash/TSB?). The car will be out of initial warranty in the near future, and paying to fix an electronics glitch doesn't sound desirable.
Thanks in advance for any solutions/advice.

 

Might be a good time to crack open your manual and learn about all the modes/displays that your car has and you've been missing.

Or you could just start by pressing the left button on the right side of the steering wheel, use the up and down buttons to select a "mode" then select the middle button. You're now in that mode. Use the up and down buttons to check out all the functionality.

Then repeat by pressing the left button again, then up or down to try another mode.

There's a lot in there that you are missing. There's no need to go to the dealer nor is there a "fix" as per say. There are just settings, settings you have so far neglected to check out.

 

My '17 GS sometimes seems to start in a different mode than I left it. Doesn't happen often so I just attribute it to gremlins.

Not being able to restore what you want is another thing. I've seen situations where the DIC is stuck because verbal input is waiting for a command. Make sure you've dismissed verbal input.

Thanks for the response. Went through the manual first, then checked out the modes, going from info to settings. I didn't see any others, and none resulted in retrieving the lost setting..

 

I've never used verbal commands, so have no idea what to "say".

A little humor never hurt anyone, but okay.

 

Each display has RPM's shown. Technically it's not part of the DIC. The DIC is the circular section in each display mode. The RPM's are shown outside of that area. Additionally speed or MPH is always shown, usually in the DIC area (also in the HUD and there's a manual speedometer too).

Based on your description above and looking at the Owner's Manual, available at https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam...s%20Manual.pdf on page 116 it says:

It also states:

OK so how do I get there?

As I said, press the left arrow on the right hand side of the steering wheel. You should see a number of selections on the left hand side of the display where the DIC is. Press the up arrow on the right side of the steering wheel until you're at the top selection - The Info mode. Press the center button to "select" Info Mode.

The first thing you should see is just the digital speedometer in the DIC display. Now press the down arrow also on the right hand side of the steering wheel. You are now going through the various informational displays. I suspect the one you want is the one that shows range and also instantaneous MPG, but play around. Go through all the information displays. Try other modes by doing left arrow, down arrow and trying Performance mode. Here you have various informational displays related to performance criteria. There's also Audio, Nav, Phone, etc. Play around.

If this is not the right display could you please describe the "lost display" in more depth?

 

An update. Just returned home from the dealer, and they could not retrieve the lost setting (2 service techs and 3 sales people gave it their best, including the person who sits with new C7 owners to explain their systems). Got in a new Corvette and pulled up the setting almost immediately. Was also advised the display and procedures for the setting were the same for the new Corvette and my '15.
Appointment was made for next week to have the diagnostics analyzed. If that also fails, it looks like a new module is in my future. The original warranty runs out next month, so it appears the timing is perfect.

 

Can you describe the screen that you had and want back?

If you are in "sport", you can push the down arrow on the right side of the steering wheel and about 3 or 4 screens down, you should get the distance remaining before fill-up, v4/v8 mode. Actually you might be "past" that screen so keep pushing that down arrow until you get to the screen.

Does that help?

Elmer,
The screen that disappeared showed (from top to bottom) speed, miles remaining on current fillup, mpg, driving mode. Display was surrounded by tach.
On the new C7, display was found one below the one showing trip B distance.

 

OK, are you in sport mode? I think that's the one you are describing. Sport mode and the miles remaining stuff underneath.

Like this?


To get to the sport mode, you turn the Driver Mode Control **** on the console. From left to right Weather, ECO, Tour, Sport, Track.

 

Yes. Didn't work (for any of us).
Thank you.

 

I'm convinced that some people are beyond help...

 

...and then there are those who obviously lack the intelligence to help.

 

Was the picture of the display in post #12 the display that you wanted to see?

Yes? No?

 

To have knowledge that others seek and to display that knowledge proves that the lack of intelligence is surely not with me. And it doesn't take intelligence to help - it takes knowledge and willingness. I just ran out of the later...

I already tried to help you several times. (And BTW "I tried that and it didn't work" style answers are insufficient. What did you try? What did you expect to happen? How did it fail? ... are all followup questions). So have others. It's you who has yet to fully describe your problem or answer the questions that others have asked for clarification. Problem solving is a process, not often a single question and answer session. Hence the beyond help comment. Hell eboggs_jkvl asked you a second time to verify if his picture of your word description of the problem. It contains all the elements of your meager description. I find when you have to ask a person again a question they should have answered before and then feel compelled to narrow them in with a "well yes or no?" question then the person being questioned is not to forth coming with their information and doesn't seem to want to participate in solving the problem. We are not riding in your car. We do not see what you see. If you cannot describe the problems better chances are you won't get it fixed. But it would be you who has made that choice.

 

Yes, that's the one.

 

...and I'm almost always in sport mode.

 

...and was when I lost the display (end of messages!).
