2013 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE display

Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
eled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. DTE cannot be reset through the SELECT
button.
NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a “LOW FUEL” message.
This display will continue until the vehicle runs
out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel to
the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL” mes-
sage and a new DTE value will display.Miles Per Gallon (MPG) Or L/100km
This display shows the instantaneous MPG or
L/100km in bar graph form while driving. This
will monitor the gas mileage in real-time as you
drive and can be used to modify driving habits in
order to increase fuel economy.

Compass / Temperature DisplayThe compass readings indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing. The EVIC will display one of
eight compass readings and the outside tem-
perature.
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.Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To com-
pensate for the differences the variance should
be set for the zone where the vehicle is driven,
per the zone map. Once properly set, the com-
pass will automatically compensate for the dif-
ferences, and provide the most accurate com-
pass heading. For the most accurate compass
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.
