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 tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the
displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings
are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to calibrate the compass manually. When the ve-
hicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the
EVIC will flash the “CAL” indicator until the compass is
calibrated. You may 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 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 build-
ings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic or inaccurate, and the
variance has been properly set, you may wish to manu-
ally recalibrate the compass. To manually calibrate the
compass:
1. Start the engine. Leave the shift lever in PARK in order to enter the EVIC Programming Menus.
2. Press and release the MENU button until “Personal Settings” displays in the EVIC.
3. Press and release the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass Yes” displays in the EVIC.
4. Press and release the SELECT button and the “CAL” indicator will start flashing.
5. Drive the vehicle slowly (under 5 mph / 8 km/h), completing one or more circles (in an area free from
240 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” indi-
cator turns off. The compass will now function nor-
mally.
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 differ-
ences and provide the most accurate compass heading.
NOTE:Magnetic and battery powered devices, (such as
cell phones, iPod’s, radar detectors, PDA’s and laptops)
should be kept away from the top of the instrument
panel. This is where the compass module is located and
such devices may interfere and cause false compass
readings.
To Change Compass Variance:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave the shift lever in PARK.
2. Press and release the MENU button until “Personal Settings” displays in the EVIC.

3. Press and release the DOWN button until “CompassVariance” and the current Variance Value displays in
the EVIC.
4. Press and release the SELECT button to increment the Variance Value by one, (one button press per update),
until the proper variance zone is selected according to
the map.
NOTE: The Variance Values will wrap around from 15
back to 1. The Default Variance is Zone 8.
Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
Average Fuel Economy can be reset by pressing and
holding the SELECT button (as prompted in the EVIC
display). Upon reset, the history information will be
erased, and the averaging will continue from the last fuel
average reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled 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.
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE display value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a text display of LOW FUEL”. 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 text and a new DTE value will display.
