If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change
after making turns, there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Such interference
may be caused by a magnetic CB or
cell phone antenna mount, a
magnetic emergency light, magnetic
note pad holder, or any other
magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn
on the vehicle and calibrate the
compass.
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 located. See

few seconds when the
calibration is complete. The DIC
display will then return to the
previous menu.

The power outlets are located on
the instrument panel below the
climate controls, at the rear of the
center console, and in the rear
cargo area. Lift the cover to access
the outlet. Close the cover when not
using the outlet.
Notice: Leaving electrical

extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the
battery. Power is always supplied
to the outlets. Always unplug
electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
20 ampere rating. Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory power
outlet and could result in blown
vehicle and adapter fuses. If a
problem is experienced, see your
dealer/retailer for additional
information on the power accessory
outlets.
Notice:
Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle can
damage it or keep other

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible, it is
set at zero and a label is put on the
driver's door to show the old
mileage reading.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Fuel Gage
United StatesCanada
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage shows how much fuel the
vehicle has left in the tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.
The gage will first indicate empty
before the vehicle is out of fuel, the
vehicles fuel tank should be
filled soon. When the fuel tank is low on fuel,
the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
see
Fuel System Messages
on
page 5‑36.
Here are some situations that may
occur with the fuel gage. None of
these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
.At the gas station, the fuel pump
shuts off before the gage
reads full.
.It takes a little more or less fuel
to fill up than the fuel gage
indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated the tank was
half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the
tank's capacity to fill the tank.
.The gage goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.
