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 completingthree 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.
Manual 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

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 manual.)
•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.
