Compass Calibration
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.

POWER INVERTER
• A 115 Volt, 150 Watt AC power in-verter is located on the front of the
center console.
• This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• The power inverter switch is located on the instrument panel below the cli-
mate controls. To turn on the power
outlet, push the switch once. The indi-
cator light will illuminate. Push the
switch a second time to turn the power
inverter outlet off.
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 electrical device has been removed
from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds
approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset
the inverter 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

(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
