•Tires heat up during normal driving con-
ditions. Heat will cause the tire pressure
to increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa)
during normal driving conditions. Refer to
“Tires-General Information/Tire Inflation
Pressures” in “Starting And Operating”
for additional information.
• Your system can be set to display pres-

Keyless Enter-N-Go Display —
If Equipped
When the ENGINE START/STOP button is
pressed to change ignition switch positions, the
Keyless Enter-N-Go icon momentarily appears
in the lower right corner of the EVIC display
showing the new ignition switch position.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Starting And
Operating” for more information. NOTE:
Under certain conditions, the display may
be superseded by another display of higher
priority. But when the ignition switch posi-
tion is changed, the display always re-
appears.
Compass / Temperature DisplayThe compass readings indicate the direction
the vehicle is facing. The EVIC will display one
of eight compass readings and the outside
temperature.
NOTE:
The system will display the last known out-
side temperature when starting the vehicle
and may need to be driven several minutes
before the updated temperature is dis-
played. Engine temperature can also affect
the displayed temperature, therefore tem-
perature readings are not updated when the
vehicle is not moving.Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which elimi-
nates the need to manually reset the compass.
When the vehicle is new, the compass may
appear erratic and the EVIC will display CAL
until the compass is calibrated. You may also
calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360–degree turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL
indicator displayed in the EVIC turns off. The
compass will now function normally.
NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface
and an environment free from large metallic
objects such as buildings, bridges, under-
ground cables, railroad tracks, etc.

Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL
indicator does not appear in the EVIC display,
you must put the compass into the Calibration
Mode manually, as follows:

Setup (Customer-Programmable Features)
menu is reached, then press the SELECT but-
ton.

displayed in the EVIC.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic ob-
jects) until the “CAL” indicator turns off. The
compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To
compensate for the differences the variance
should be set for the zone where the vehicle is
driven, per the zone map. Once properly set,the compass will automatically compensate for
the differences, and provide the most accurate
compass heading. For the most accurate com-
pass performance, the compass must be set
using the following steps.
NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top
of the instrument panel, such as iPod’s,
Mobile Phones, Laptops and Radar Detec-
tors. This is where the compass module is
located, and it can cause interference with
the compass sensor, and it may give false
readings.
