DIC Compass
Your vehicle may have a compass in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
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 the
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass
variance, the compass in the vehicle could give
false readings.
In order to do this, the compass must be set or
calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle
is traveling.
197

To calibrate the compass, use the following
procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure
the compass zone is set to the variance
zone in which the vehicle is traveling. See
“Compass Variance Procedure” earlier in
this section.
2. Press the vehicle information button until the
PRESS
VTO CALIBRATE COMPASS
screen is displayed.
3. Press the set/reset button to start the compass
calibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE
IN CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in circles at
less than 5 mph (8 km/h) to complete
the calibration. The DIC will display
CALIBRATION COMPLETE when the
calibration is complete.
DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another. Some messages
may not require immediate action, but you can
press the set/reset button to acknowledge that you
received the message and clear it from the DIC
display. Pressing any of the DIC buttons also
acknowledges and clears any messages. Some
messages cannot be cleared from the DIC display
because they are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be cleared.
You should take any messages that appear on the
display seriously and remember that clearing
the messages will only make the messages
disappear, not correct the problem. The following
are the possible messages that can be displayed
and some information about them.
