DIC How do you change the preferred language in the DIC? I want to change the language from French to English.

It means you have 4% engine oil life remaining, and that you have your Driver Information Center language set to French.
You need to change, or have changed, your engine oil and filter, and if French is not your language, change the DIC display language to English in the language settings.

The radio displays driver information center (DIC) information when it first powers up. The uplevel radio shows the time and outside temperature on the first line of the display, and DIC information on the second line of the display.
There are 3 DIC buttons on the radio.

The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays PONTIAC or BUICK for 3 seconds and then the most recently used key fob when it first powers up. The DIC returns to the last display status after displaying the key fob number. The DIC can be displayed in English or French. In order to change between English/French press and hold the Mode button for more than 3 seconds .
There are 2 buttons on the DIC.
