{ WarningIn freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
L m (Washer Fluid): Push the
paddle marked with the windshield
washer symbol at the top of the turn
signal lever, to spray washer fluid
and activate the wipers. The wipers
will continue until the paddle is
released or the maximum wash time
is reached. When the paddle is

occur depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid on
page 10-25 for information on filling
the windshield washer fluid
reservoir. Compass The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak ®
, and vehicle speed
information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See Compass
Messages on page 5-32 for the
messages that may be displayed for
the compass. Clock Setting the Time and Date with
