Trip  computer
The trip computer stores information gathered  from  several systems in your vehicle and  has four menus that can be
displayed in the text window.
 Driving distance on current fuel reserve
 Average  fuel consumption
 Current fuel consumption
 Average  speed
 Current speed in mph (Canadian models only)
 STC/DSTC (see page 125 for detailed information)
NOTE:  Warning messages from  the vehicle's monitoring  systems will override the trip computer function. If a
warning message is displayed in the text window while you are using the trip computer, you must  acknowledge the
message by pressing button A. Press button A again to return to the trip computer function.
Trip  computer controls  and functions
The four

system memory) by pressing RESET (button C).
1. Driving distance on current fuel reserve
This function shows  the approximate distance that can be  driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. This calculation is
based on average fuel consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of driving and  the amount of fuel remaining in the
tank when the reading was taken.
When the driving distance on current fuel reserve  is less than 12 miles (20 km), "----" will be  displayed in the text
window.
2. Average fuel consumption
This value indicates fuel consumption since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on fuel consumption is stored  and  remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
3. Current fuel consumption
This value indicates the current fuel consumption, based on readings taken once per second. When the vehicle is not
moving, "----" will be  displayed.

4. Average speed
This value indicates average speed since the last time the trip computer was reset (by pressing RESET, button C).
When the engine is switched off, information on average speed is stored  and  remains in system memory until the
RESET (button C) is pressed again.
5. Current speed in miles per  hour (Canadian  models only)
This function provides  the driver with an  instantaneous  conversion of the vehicle's current speed from  km/h to mph.
NOTE: Trip computer readings may vary slightly  depending on the circumference of the tires on the vehicle and
driving style.

Rearview mirror  with compass (option)
The upper left-hand  corner of the rearview mirror has an  integrated display that shows  the compass  direction toward
which  the car is pointing. Eight different  directions  can be  displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W  and  NW. The display
shows  your car's orientation with respect to true north.
If the compass  is activated, it will be  displayed automatically  when the ignition is in postilion  II or when the engine is
running. The compass  can be  switched off or on by pressing the inset button on the rear side of the mirror (see the inset
illustration). This can be  done  with straightened paperclip or similar object.  The button is recessed  approximately 1 in.
(2.5 cm) in the mirror.

Rearview  mirror/sideview mirrors
Magnetic zones
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass  is initially set for the zone to which  the car was delivered,
and  should always be  adjusted if the car is driven to a  new magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened paperclip or similar object  for approximately 3
seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the current magnetic zone will also be  displayed.
- Press the button repeatedly until the number for the desired zone (1-15) is displayed.

After several seconds, the compass  heading will again be  displayed, and  the change of magnetic zones is complete.
Calibrating  the compass
- Stop the car in a  large, open  area, away from  traffic.
- Turn  off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid interference with the compass  (e.g. audio system,
etc).
- Using a  pen  or similar object,  hold the button (1) depressed  for at least 6 seconds. "CAL"  will be  displayed.
- Drive slowly in a  circle at a  maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) until CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be  done  by driving normally until CAL is no longer displayed. Calibration is complete.
