Overhead Console
The front overhead console has reading
lights, a center dome light, a compass
and outside temperature display, and
storage compartments-including one
for your garage door opener and one for
sunglasses.
Temperature and Compass
Display
The outside air temperature and the
compass are displayed at the front
of
the overhead console. The control
switches are located to the left
of the
display.
Turn the display on or
off by pressing
the
ON/OFF switch. Display the
temperature in either degrees
Fahrenheit (English)
or Celsius (metric)
by pressing the
US/MET switch.
Before you turn on the ignition and move
the vehicle, the temperature indicated
will be the last outside temperature
recorded with the ignition on. If
the outside temperature is
37°F (3°C)
or lower when you turn on the ignition,
ICE will appear on the display. It's a
caution to the driver that road
conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be
taken.
Compass Calibration:
The compass is self-calibrating, so it
does not need to be manually set.
However, when your Bravada is new,
the compass may function erratically.
If
it does, CAL (Calibration) will appear
on the display.
To correct the problem,
drive in a complete
360" circle three
times, and the compass will function
normally.
