This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually.
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” message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
ECO
The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you are driving in a fuel
efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can
be used to modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will nowoccur for the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause
you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the back of the center console.
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the
outlet, the inverter should automatically re-
set. If the power rating exceeds approxi-
mately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually. To reset the in-
verter manually, unplug the device and plug
it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.
