provided)
NOTE:
If the vehicle is equipped with a
Global Positioning System (GPS)
Navigation Radio, the variance
and calibration menu will be
eliminated.

located in the instrument cluster and
features a driver-interactive display
which provides outside temperature,
compass direction (for versions/
markets, where provided) , and trip
information.
NOTE:
The system will display the last
known outside 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 tempera-
ture; therefore, temperature read-ings are not updated when the ve-
hicle is not moving.
