Compass/Temperature/Trip Computer

This display provides the outside temperature, one of the
eight compass headings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing, and vehicle trip information. The com-
pass and temperature display is the normal display.
When the C/T button is pressed or the customer pro-
grammable features have been “stepped through” the
compass/temperature display returns.

following information when the display is in the
“Compass/Temperature” mode and the STEP button is
pressed:

Step Button
Press the STEP button to cycle through all of the
Compass/Mini-Trip Computer displays.

Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.

Distance To Empty
Shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This is calibrated using the
miles per gallon for the last few minutes.

Trip Odometer
Shows the distance travelled since the last reset.

Elapsed Time
Shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last
reset.

Miles to Service
Shows the distance remaining to require service.

NOTE:

This display can be reset to the set service

interval by pressing and holding the RESET button for 3
seconds.

Blank Screen
Shows a blank screen. Pressing the STEP button returns
to the compass and temperature display.

Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to instructionly set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL
symbol will be displayed.

94

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

After completing three 360° turns in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will turn
off and the compass will function normally.

Instruction Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does
not appear, you must instructionly put the compass into the
“Calibration” mode.

NOTE:

To ensure proper compass calibration, make

sure the compass variance is properly set before manu-
ally calibrating the compass (see variance map).

To Put Into a Calibration Mode
Turn on the ignition and set the display to “Compass/
Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button to
change the display between VAR (compass variance) and
CAL (compass calibration) modes. When the CAL sym-
bol is displayed complete three 360 degree turns in an
area free from large metal objects or power lines. The
CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will function
normally.

Compass Variance

is the difference between magnetic

north and geographic north. In some areas of the country,
the difference between magnetic and geographic north is
great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according
to the Compass Variance Map.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the
display to “Compass/Temperature.” Press the RESET
button approximately five seconds. The last variance
zone number will be displayed. Press the STEP button to
select the new variance zone and press the RESET button
to resume normal operation.

OVERHEAD TRAVEL INFORMATION CENTER —
IF EQUIPPED

This feature allows you to choose between a compass /
temperature display and one of five trip conditions being
monitored.

Pressing the STEP button will select the available trip
information. Pressing the US / M button will toggle
between US and Metric displays. Pressing the C/T (Com-
pass / Temperature) button will return the display to the
normal compass / temperature display.

US/M Button

Use this button to change the display from U.S. to metric
measurement units.

RESET Button

Use this button to reset the following displays to zero:
Average Fuel Economy
Trip Odometer
Elapsed time.

Global Reset

If the RESET button is pressed twice within 3 seconds
while in any of the 3 resetable displays, the Global Reset
button will reset all 3 displays.

Step Button

Use this button to choose or cycle through the five trip
conditions.

Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)

This display shows the average fuel economy since the
last reset.

Distance To Empty (DTE)

This display shows the estimated distance that can be
traveled with the fuel remaining in the tank. The distance
is calculated by multiplying the amount of fuel remain-
ing by the projected fuel economy. The distance predicted
will change every few seconds to a higher or lower
number as these factors change.

This display cannot be reset.

Trip Odometer (ODO)

This display shows the distance traveled since the last
reset.

Elapsed Time (ET)

This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time
since the last reset.

C/T Button

Use this button to select a readout of the outside tem-
perature and one of eight compass headings that indicate
the direction in which the vehicle is facing.

Compass/Temperature Display

This display provides the outside temperature and one of
eight compass readings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing.

Automatic Compass Calibration

The self calibrating feature of the compass eliminates the
need to calibrate the compass for normal conditions.
During a short initial period, the compass may appear
erratic and the CAL symbol will appear on the display.
The CAL symbol may also appear after the vehicle is
subjected to a high level of magnetism. After completing

three 360 turns at about 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free
from large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will
turn off and the compass will function normally.

Instruction Compass Calibration

If the compass appears erratic and the CAL light does not
appear, you must calibrate the compass. Find an open
area away from large metal objects. With the ignition ON
and the compass/temperature displayed, press and hold
the RESET button until the CAL symbol appears (about
10 seconds). Drive slowly (about 5 mph) (8 km/h) in 3
complete 360 circles. The CAL light will turn off and the
compass will be calibrated.

Variance is the difference between magnetic North and
geographic North. For proper compass function, the
correct variance zone must be set. Refer to the variance
map for the correct variance zone. To check the variance
zone, the ignition must be on and the compass/
temperature displayed. Press and hold the RESET button
for about 5 seconds until VAR appears in the display. The
number displayed is the variance zone used by the
compass. To change the zone, press the STEP button to

98

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

scroll through numbers 1 through 15. Press the RESET
button after selecting the proper zone to return to the
normal compass/temperature display.

NOTE:

To ensure proper compass calibration, make

sure the compass variance is properly set before manu-
ally calibrating the compass (see variance map).

Outside Temperature

Because engine temperature can increase the displayed
temperature, temperature readings are slowly updated
when vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30 km/h).

ELECTRCAL POWER OUTLET

Your vehicle is equipped with one power outlet which is
located in the forward portion of the center console if
your vehicle has bucket seats or in the lower center of the
instrument panel if your vehicle has bench or split bench
seats. Accessories powered through this outlet are pro-
tected by a 15 amp fuse. The outlet may be converted to
a cigar lighter by installing the dealer obtained smoker’s
package. The outlet is operated by the ignition switch,
when in the “run” or “acc” positions only. You may
convert the outlet from ignition to battery power by
performing the following:

• Remove the fuse cover from the left end of the

instrument panel (see the paragraph on fuses in sec-
tion 7 of this instruction.)

• Remove fuse #6 (its on the upper right of the fuse

block) from its “IGN” position.

• Move the fuse slightly right and insert it in the fuse #6

“BAT” location in the fuse block.

• Reinstall the fuse cover.
