Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi-
cator system. The Oil Change Required message will
display in the Instrument Cluster Display for approxi-
mately 10 seconds, after a single chime has sounded, to
indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine
oil change indicator system is duty-cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position or
cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position if equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, push and release the BACK button. To reset the oil
change indicator system (after performing the scheduled
maintenance) refer to the following procedure.Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go

strument Cluster Display and push the RIGHT
ar-
row button. The following Fuel Economy functions
display in the Instrument Cluster Display:
• Average Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100 km)
• Distance To Empty (mi or km)
• Current Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100 km)
Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. The
Average Fuel Economy can be reset by following the
prompt in the Instrument Cluster Display to use the
RIGHT button. When the fuel economy is reset, the display
will read “zero” for two seconds. Then, the history infor-
mation 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 through the RIGHT
arrow button.
NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
Average Fuel Economy Display

When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km) estimated
driving distance, the DTE display will change to a “LOW
FUEL” message. This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel
to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL” message and
a new DTE value will display.
Current Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100 km)
This display shows the instantaneous MPG or L/100 km in
bar graph form while driving. This will monitor the gas
mileage in real-time as you drive and can be used to
modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

Compass / Temperature Display
The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. The Instrument Cluster Display will display eight
or fifteen compass readings and the outside temperature.
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 temperature is
displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the dis-
played 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 manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is new,
the compass may appear erratic until it 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). 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 and the CAL indicator does
not appear in the Instrument Cluster Display, you must put
the compass into the Calibration Mode manually, as fol-
lows:
1. Turn ON the ignition switch.
2. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the System Setup (Customer-Programmable Features) menu
is reached, then push and release the RIGHT button.
3. Push and release the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass” is displayed in the Instrument Cluster Dis-
play then push and release the RIGHT button.
4. Push and release the RIGHT button to start the calibra- tion. The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in the
Instrument Cluster Display.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”
indicator turns off. The compass will now function
normally.4

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. For
the most accurate compass performance, the compass must
be set using the following steps.
NOTE:Keep magnetic materials away from the top of the
instrument panel, such as iPod’s, Mobile Phones, Laptops
and Radar Detectors. This is where the compass module is
located, and it can cause interference with the compass
sensor, and it may give false readings. 1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the
Setup (Customer-Programmable Features) menu is
reached, then push the RIGHT button.
3. Push and release the DOWN button until the “Compass Variance” message is displayed in the Instrument Clus-
ter Display, then press the RIGHT button. The last
variance zone number displays in the Instrument Clus-
ter Display.
4. Push and release the RIGHT button until the proper variance zone is selected, according to the map.
