overhead console. When the vehicle is turned off, the electronics display
will remember the last display state.
Outside air temperature
The temperature can be displayed in
either Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
This is controlled via the Message
Center. Please refer to theMessage
Centerin this chapter to change
from English to metric. The ignition
key must be in the ON or
ACCESSORY position.
If the outside temperature falls
below 3°C (38°F), the display will alternate from “ICE” to the outside
temperature at a two second rate for one minute.
Compass
The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW.
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in or on the vehicle may also affect compass
accuracy. Adjustments may need to be made to the zone and calibration
of the compass.
Zone variation mode
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON
position.

3. Press and hold the momentary
push-button for approximately 4
seconds, until VAR is displayed,
then release it. (Pressing the
momentary push-button for 8
seconds de-calibrates the
compass—seeCompass
Calibration Mode).
4. Press the button to increment the
VAR number to the desired VAR
number. Wait 5 seconds without
button activity and the compass will return to the heading mode.
Note:If there is no button activity for 5 seconds, the compass writes the
displayed zone VAR number to memory and exits Zone Variation Mode
Compass calibration mode
1. Press the momentary push button
and hold it for more than 8 seconds.
After 8 seconds, CAL is displayed,
then release it.
Note:After button release CAL will
be displayed with a heading. The
compass is now de-calibrated and
enters the Initial AutoCal Mode.
2. Drive the vehicle in a tight circle
in a magnetically clean area such as
an open parking lot. Drive at a rate not faster than 15 seconds per circle
(5 MPH).
Note:Look for a parking lot away from buildings, light posts, manhole
covers, sewer and drainage grates and other metallic objects. Some
magnetic objects may be hidden underground. Look for signs of
underground utilities, water mains or other industrial structures. The
parking lot should be level and have a smooth surface. Blacktop is
preferred over cement as a cement surface often contains iron
reinforcing bars or metallic mesh that could interfere with the calibration
process.
•The CAL indication will turn off when the calibration process is
complete, leaving the compass heading on the display.
Note:This process normally takes about 1
12circles but may take longer
if magnetic noise is present or if the circles are driven too fast.

Distance to empty (DTE)
Selecting this function from the
INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under
normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling to allow this feature
to correctly detect the added fuel.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.
Average Fuel Economy (AFE)
Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in 100 miles/gallon or
liters/100 km.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel
used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled by liters used), your
figure may be different than displayed for the following reasons:
•your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
•differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
•variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
•rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET control after setting the speed
control to get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
