The compass/temperature display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass headings (N, NE,
E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).Each time the center button is pressed and released
within 3 seconds, the display toggles through the follow-
ing three configurations:
²display compass/temperature (Fahrenheit),

Compass Calibration
Automatic Calibration
Once calibrated, the compass has the ability to self-
correct for changes in magnetic field to keep the compass
accurate. This is referred to as Automatic Calibration. If
magnetic field changes are too great, the compass will
enter CAL mode on it's own and manual calibration will
be required. To recalibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) through up to 1
1¤2360É turns
in an area free from large metal objects or power lines.
When the compass has been calibrated, the CAL symbol
will turn off and the compass will function normally.

Front Fog Lights Ð If Equipped
The front fog light switch is in the multi-function
control lever. To activate the front fog lights, turn
on the parking or low beam headlights and pull
out the end of the lever.
NOTE:The fog lights will only operate with the park-
ing lights or the headlights on low beam. Selecting high
beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.

Move the multi-function control lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever
partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light
bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the fuse or indicator bulb is
defective.
NOTE:A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on
for more than 1 mile (2 km).
Daytime Running Lights Ð Canada Only
The headlights come on at a low intensity level after the
vehicle has been driven approximately 3 feet (1 meter).

vehicle is restarted.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-
tween cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the DELAY
position, then select the delay interval by turning the end
