Hey Amy,
I tried to reply earlier with my cell phone but it didn't work.
Yes the DIC = Driver Information Center there are three buttons vertically and it gives you information on gas mileage oil life etc. The mode button toggles thru different information, there is a reset button that you can reset oil life, thats where I reset mine at.
My car is a 2003, I'm not sure about a 97 if there is a DIC in that year.
