vehicle ownership, the seller certify the mileage the
vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer
reading is changed because of repair or replacement, be
sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the
service so that the correct mileage can be determined.
Vehicle Warning Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, messages such as
ªdoorº (for door ajar), ªgATEº (for liftgate ajar), ªgLASSº

To calibrate the compass, first, start the engine. Next,
press and hold the trip odometer button until the current
variance zone number displays (approximately ten sec-
onds). Then, press and hold the button again until the
