Setting the Compass
The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass.
However, under certain circumstances, such as during a
long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary
to compensate for compass variance and reset the zone
through the DIC.
Compass variance is the difference between earth's
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass
in your vehicle could give you false readings.
In order to do this, you will have to set or calibrate the
compass to the variance zone in which you are located.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
This symbol appears
with the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning
message.
If the vehicle has ABS brakes, this warning message
will appear when the air pressure in one of the tires
is too low or too high. Check the vehicle's tire pressure
as soon as possible, and ®ll the affected tire to the
appropriate level. The correct tire in¯ation pressure
should be set to those shown on the tire-loading
information label on the vehicle. See
Loading Your
Vehicle on page 4-35for more information.When you reset the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE screen
by acknowledging it, you must also reset the TIRE
INFLATION MONITOR SYSTEM screen located under
the option menu in the DIC. See ªTire In¯ation Monitor
Systemº in the options section under
DIC Controls and
Displays on page 3-45for more information.
This warning message will display while the ignition is
in RUN. A chime will sound for two seconds when
this message is displayed and then the screen will clear
after three seconds. Press the set/reset button to
acknowledge this warning message and to clear it from
the screen.
This message will continue to display if it has not been
acknowledged when the engine is turned off. It will
also re-display for three seconds if the message has
been acknowledged, but the condition still exists
when the engine is turned off.
The message will re-appear when the engine is turned
on and the condition still exists.

Tire Pressure Monitor System
This vehicle has the tire in¯ation monitor system, it can
alert you to a large change in the pressure of one
tire. The system ªlearnsº the pressure at each tire
throughout the operating speed range of your vehicle.
The system normally takes between 45 and 90 minutes
of driving to learn the tire pressures. This time may
be longer depending on your individual driving habits.
Learning need not be accumulated during a single
trip. Once learned, the system will remember the tire
pressures until the system is recalibrated.
See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65for
more information.
This symbol, along with the
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning message will
appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC)
if the pressure in one tire
becomes 12 psi (83 kPa)
lower than the other
three tires.
The tire in¯ation monitor system won't alert you if the
pressure in more than one tire is low, if the system is not
properly calibrated, or if the vehicle is moving faster
than 70 mph (110 km/h).The tire in¯ation monitor system detects differences in
tire rotation speeds that are caused by changes in tire
pressure. The system can alert you about a low tire ± but
it doesn't replace normal tire maintenance. See
Tires on
page 5-68.
When the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message
comes on, you should stop as soon as you can and
check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is ¯at, see
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-78). Also, check the
tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can.
See
In¯ation -- Tire Pressure on page 5-69.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will
also be displayed (while the ignition is on) until you reset
(calibrate) the system. To reset the system, see ªTire
In¯ation Monitor Systemº under the options mode in
DIC
Controls and Displays on page 3-45.
Don't reset the tire in¯ation monitor system without ®rst
correcting the cause of the problem and checking
and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset
the system when the tire pressures are incorrect,
the system will not work properly and may not alert you
when a tire is low.
Any time you adjust a tire's pressure, rotate your tires,
or have one or more tires repaired or replaced, you'll
need to reset (calibrate) the tire in¯ation monitor system.
You'll also need to reset the system whenever you
buy new tires and whenever the vehicle's battery has
been disconnected.
