'06 "message center" question

I know on some Fords, you can have the message center give you information such as RPM, fuel levels etc. I'm not talking about the self test feature, I'm talking about the more advanced one (if that's the correct term). If someone could help me out, that'd be great. I know your supposed to hold down the odometer/trip button or something while you start it? Well, I don't have those, I have info, setup, and reset. Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

PS: I probably should have said what kind of car it is....It's a 2006 F350 with the 6.0 in it.

My 06 that is loaded wont do it. as a matter of fact none of the 6.0 trucks I have seen have done it or had it. Ive seen lots o' trucks too.
rpm is displayed by the tac. it will tell me low fuel level when at 50miles left.
maybe Ill learn something new today.

You could be right. My friends Excursion has almost the same message center, and it won't do it either. However it has a 7.3 instead of the 6.0.... We shall see
