Secondary Information
Center (SIC)
Electronic Compass
If your vehicle has a DIC,
it also is equipped with an
electronic compass. As
with all compasses,
this unit senses the earth’s
magnetic eld to show
the direction the vehicle is
pointing.The earth’s magnetic eld is not always the same
direction as true north as we know it. So, you must enter
a zone number to tell the compass the difference
between magnetic and actual north. This tells the
compass where in the country you are driving.
The compass remembers your zone, so you only have to
change it if you drive to a new zone on the map. The
compass adjusts only a small amount for each zone, so
you may not notice a difference if you drive from one zone
to the next one, until you cross several zones.
3-70

Choosing Your Zone Number
Locate your zone number on the map. If your number is
different than the one shown when you turn the key
on, follow the steps to change your zone number.
If you live on the line, you can pick the zone area you
are most likely to drive in. In Alaska, use Zone 9 or 10.
In Hawaii, use Zone 7.
Changing Your Zone Number
1. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.
2. Press SELECT to display RESET CHANGES ZONE.
3. Press RESET until your number appears.
4. Press MODE to exit the COMPASS CALIBRATION
MODE and store the new zone number. When the
MODE button is pressed, the DIC will return to
the VEHICLE DATA mode.
3-71

Calibrating the Compass
All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic
prole of your vehicle. This is called calibration and
is done automatically by your compass. However, if you
would like to manually calibrate the compass, the
following instructions will show you how.
Sometimes, strong magnetic elds can affect the
compass. If the compass display does not show a
direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on
the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows:
1. Drive the vehicle to an open, at area.
2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.
3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO
RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET
button.
4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN
SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small
circles. Do not drive faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION
COMPLETE message is displayed on the DIC and
a direction is shown for the compass.
Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this
when a direction is shown and the CALIBRATE
COMPASS message is no longer displayed.
Compass Accuracy
Your compass may show different headings around
bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills.
This is normal and is true of compasses in general.
If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk
they could affect accuracy. If the affect is minimal,
the compass will adapt to these objects over time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to
mount it away from the center of the trunk near the
rear window.
The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the
compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear
defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off
again, the accuracy returns to normal.
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in
the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not
know they are there. As an example, many concrete
roads have metal reinforcements inside.
Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
