Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature,
compass direction and trip information in the
overhead console.
USMET The USMET (United Statedmetric) button
allows you to switch the display between
the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes
of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
OFF: This button turns the system off.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one
of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
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, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and the current
temperature every eight seconds. 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, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the
compass will need
to be calibrated. You may also place the
compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and holding
the MODE and USMET buttons simultaneously while in
the COMPREMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the
compass will display
C and you can release the buttons.
Drive
the vehicle in a complete 360" circle three times at
a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will
function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the
display will return
to a compass reading.

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:
1. Find your location on the zone map earlier in this
section. Note your zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the USMET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number,
When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE
button will step
you through the following
TRIP functions:
0 AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since the
last reset
is displayed.
INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for the
last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours
of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kdh).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed.
If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero, and a label must be put
on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To view the trip odometer, press the button near the
readout.
To reset the trip odometer, hold the button until
it resets.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute
(rpm).
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the
powertrain in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions. For example, when
the needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine
is running.
The shaded red warning range
tells you that your engine
speed is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long
with the tachometer
in the red warning range. Lift your
foot off
the accelerator pedal.
The solid red danger range tells
you that your engine
speed is at its upper limits. You should immediately
shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off the
accelerator pedal.

NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range, or engine damage
will occur.

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 to
the right 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 notch on
the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
