THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
Yellow TelltaleLight What It Means
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic
System called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The
light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate
the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through sev-
eral typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not
require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be ser-
viced as soon as possible if this occurs.

Compass/Temperature Display
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with a Uconnect Navi-
gation Radio, the NAV system will provide the compass
direction, and the variance and calibration menus will be
unavailable. The compass will perform accurately, based
on GPS signals instead of the Earth’s magnetic field.
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.
To Set The Variance
Start the engine and leave the transmission gear selector
lever in the PARK position. Push and hold the RESET
button on the steering wheel (for approximately ten
seconds) until the current variance zone number is dis-
played. To change the zone, push and release the STEP
