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.

Audio System(s)
Notice:Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle – like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio – be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with
the operation of your vehicle’s engine, radio or other
systems, and even damage them. Your vehicle’s
systems may interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with
it rst. Figure out which radio you have in your vehicle,
nd out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
“Retained Accessory Power (RAP)” underIgnition
Positions on page 2-26.
Setting the Time
Press and hold HR or MIN for two seconds. Then press
and hold HR until the correct hour appears on the
display. AM will appear for morning hours. Press and
hold MIN until the correct minute appears on the display.
The time may be set with the ignition on or off.
To synchronize the time with an FM station broadcasting
Radio Data System (RDS) information, press and
hold HR and MIN at the same time until UPDATED and
the clock symbol appear on the display. If the time is
not available from the station, NO UPDATE will appear
on the display.
RDS time is broadcast once a minute. Once you have
tuned to an RDS broadcast station, it may take a
few minutes for your time to update.
