2007 DODGE DURANGO display

•AVG. MPG – Shows the average fuel economy since
the last reset. When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will show dashes for two seconds. Then the
history information will be erased, and the averaging
will continue from the last fuel average reading before
the reset. (Example: If your Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) displays 18 AVG. MPG and the
RESET button is pressed, the previous averaging his-
tory will be erased and the display will return to the 18
AVG. MPG, not to 0 AVG. MPG). The display may take
several miles for the value to change dependent upon
driving habits.
•MI TO EMPTY (Distance To Empty) – Shows the
estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of fuel economy,
according to the current fuel tank level. MI TO EMPTY
cannot be reset through the RESET button.NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
•When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will
change to a text display ofLOW FUEL.This display
will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding
a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off
theLOW FUELtext and a new DTE value will
display.
•Global Reset – If the RESET button is pressed twice
within 2 seconds while in any of the 3 resettable
displays (AVG.MPG, ET (ELAPSED TIME) and TRIP)

•“COMPASS CALIBRATE > YES” – Press the RESET
button to manually calibrate the compass. Refer to
Manual Compass Calibration, in this section for addi-
tional information.
Compass/Temperature Button
Pressing the Compass/Temperature button
will return the display to the normal compass/
temperature display.
NOTE:Temperature accuracy can be effected from heat
soak. For best accuracy, the vehicle should be driven at a
speed greater than 20 mph (32 km/h) for several min-
utes.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which reduces the need
to calibrate the compass manually. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated. You mayalso calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” message
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press the menu button until Personal Set-
tings is displayed.
3. Press the STEP button until “Calibrate Compass YES”
is displayed.

4. Press and release the RESET button to start the cali-
bration. The message “CAL” will display on the compass
temperature screen in the EVIC.
5. Complete one or more 360° turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and Geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set
using the following procedure:
NOTE:Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the overhead console. This is where the compass sensor is
located.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED
The HomeLinkWireless Control System replaces up to
three remote controls (hand held transmitters) that oper-
ate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, or home lighting. It triggers these devices at thepush of a button. The Universal Transceiver operates off
your vehicle’s battery and charging system; no batteries
are needed.
For additional information on HomeLink, call 1–800–
355–3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.

Programming HomeLink
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver–interactive display which includes
HomeLink system messages. The EVIC display is located
in the overhead console.
NOTE:When programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside the garage. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, and
the EVIC will display “CLEARING CHANNELS”, do not
release the buttons until “CHANNELS CLEARED” is
displayed on the EVIC (after approximately 20 seconds).
Do nothold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds anddo notrepeat step one to program a second and/or third
hand-held transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink
buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3
inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons while
keeping the EVIC display in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
button that you want to train and the hand-held trans-
mitter button.Do not release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.The EVIC will display “CHANNEL X
TRAINING”, once the transmitter is programmed the
EVIC will display “CHANNEL X TRAINED”. X refers to
the desired channel being trained (1,2 or 3).
NOTE:Some gate operators and garage door openers
may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted in theGate Operator/Canadian Pro-
grammingsection.
4. Once “CHANNEL X TRAINED” is displayed on the
EVIC, release both buttons. Programming is now com-
plete. When the HomeLink button is subsequently
pressed, “CHANNEL X TRANSMIT” is displayed on the
screen and your device should be activated, (garage door
should open).NOTE:To program the remaining two HomeLink but-
tons, begin withProgrammingstep two. Do not repeat
step one.
NOTE:If the EVIC display shows “CHANNEL X TR-
ASMIT” (where X is channel 1,2 or 3) but your device
does not activate, the device may be equipped with a
“rolling code” system. Continue with the following steps
five through seven to complete the programming of a
rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage
door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance of
a second person may make the following programming
steps quicker and easier.
5.Programming a Rolling Code System
At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in
the garage, locate thelearnorsmartbutton. This can
usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
