This unit has the following functions:
cMeasures terrestrial magnetism and indi-
cates heading direction of vehicle
cIndicates outside air temperature
With the ignition switch in the ON position, press

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push thebutton for about 1 second when
the ignition key is in the ON position to toggle the
outside temperature and compass direction dis-
play
s1on or off.
cTo change from °F to °C, push and hold
the
button for about 3 seconds until
the display begins to flash. Press the button
again to toggle between °F and °C. Once
you have selected °F or °C, the display will
continue to flash for about 5 seconds, then
the temperature will display.cWhen the outside temperature is between
140°F (60°C) and 194°F (90°C) , the display
will read 140°F (60°C) . When the tempera-
ture is above 194°F (90°C) , the display will
read “SC”.
cWhen the outside temperature is between
-40°F (-40°C) and -60°F (-51°C) , the dis-
play will read -40°F (-40°C) . When the tem-
perature is below -60°F (-51°C) , the display
will read “OC”.
cThe outside temperature sensor is located in
front of the radiator. The sensor may be
affected by road or engine heat, wind direc-
tion and other driving conditions. The display
may differ from the actual outside tempera-
ture or the temperature displayed on various
signs or billboards.
cTemperature display will not update unless
the vehicle is moving faster than 12 MPH
(20 km/h) , or the ignition switch has been
OFF for 4 hours.

Instruments and controls2-9

1. With the display turned on, press and hold
the
button for about 10 seconds. The
“CAL” icon in the compass display will illu-
minate.
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle
in three complete circles at a maximum
speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h) .
3. After completing the circles, the display
should return to normal.
cIf the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an authorized
dealer.
cThe compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill. (The compass returns
to the correct compass point when the ve-
hicle moves to an area where the geomag-
netism is stabilized.)
cIf a magnet is located in or near the overhead
console in the front of the vehicle or the
vehicle is driven where the terrestrial mag-
netism is disturbed, the compass display
may not indicate the correct direction.CAUTION
cDo not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the op-
eration of the compass.
cWhen cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it may
cause the liquid cleaner to enter the
mirror housing.
