Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
UWMET 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.
This is a warning
to the driver that road conditions may
be icy, and that appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to
be manually set. However, when your vehicle is new,
the compass may function erratically. If it does, CAL
(Calibration) will appear
on the display. To correct the
problem, drive slowly
in a complete 360" circle three
times, and
the compass will function normally.
Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings.
If this happens, follow these instructions to
set the variance for your particular location:

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With
SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise to adjust
the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases
the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same
to you as you drive.
If you don’t want to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each detent
on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at a faster rate of speed.
