in the display. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on
page 392andDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 221for more information.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes instead of
a value, there may be a problem with your vehicle.
If this consistently occurs, see your dealer for
service.
Learn Tire Positions
To access this display, the vehicle must be in
PARK (P). After rotating the tires or after replacing
a tire or sensor, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
system must re-learn the tire positions. To re-learn
the tire positions, seeTire Pressure Monitor System
on page 393. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 398andDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 221for more information.
Compass Zone
Your vehicle may have this feature. 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. To change the compass zone through the
DIC, seeDIC Compass on page 218.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually calibrated. To
calibrate the compass through the DIC, seeDIC
Compass on page 218.

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving
safely. Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of
you. You slam on the brakes and continue braking.
Here is what happens with ABS:
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work the brakes at each
front wheel and at both rear wheels.ABS can change the brake pressure faster than
any driver could. The computer is programmed
to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the
obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving
updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
