Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To com-pensate for the differences, the variance should
be set for the zone where the vehicle is driven,
per the zone map. Once properly set, the com-
pass will automatically compensate for the dif-
ferences and provide the most accurate com-
pass heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic and battery powered devices,
(such as cell phones, iPod’s, radar detec-
tors, PDA’s, and laptops) should be kept
away from the top of the instrument panel.
This is where the compass module is lo-
cated and such devices may interfere and
cause false compass readings.1. Place the ignition in the ON position.

Once the audio device is connected and syn-
chronized to the vehicle’s iPod/USB/MP3 con-
trol system (iPod or external USB device may
take a few minutes to connect), the audio
device starts charging and is ready for use by
pushing radio switches, as described below.
NOTE:
If the audio device battery is completely
discharged, it may not communicate with
the iPod/USB/MP3 control system until a
minimum charge is attained. Leaving the
audio device connected to the iPod/USB/MP3 control system may charge it to the
required level.
Using This FeatureBy using an external USB device to connect to
the USB port:
•The audio device can be played on the
vehicle’s sound system, providing metadata
(artist, track title, album, etc.) information on
the radio display.
•The audio device can be controlled using the
radio buttons to Play, Browse, and List the
iPod contents.
•The audio device battery charges when
plugged into the USB/AUX connector (if sup-
ported by the specific audio device).
Controlling The iPod Or External
USB Device Using Radio Buttons
To enter the iPod/USB/MP3 control mode and
access a connected audio device, either push
the “AUX” button on the radio faceplate or push
the VR button and say"USB"or"Switch to
USB."Once in the iPod/USB/MP3 controlmode, audio tracks (if available from audio
device) start playing over the vehicle’s audio
system.
Play ModeWhen switched to iPod/USB/MP3 control mode,
the iPod or external USB device automatically
starts Play mode. In Play mode, the following
buttons on the radio faceplate may be used to
control the iPod or external USB device and
display data:
•Use theTUNEcontrol knob to select the next
or previous track.
•Turning it clockwise (forward) by one
click, while playing a track, skips to the
next track or push the VR button and say
"Next Track."
•Turning it counterclockwise (backward)
by one click, will jump to the previous
track in the list or push the VR button and
say"Previous Track."
•Jump backward in the current track by push-

fog on the inside, because of moisture
buildup inside the vehicle. Select the out-
side air position for maximum defogging.
•The A/C will engage automatically to pre-
vent fogging when the recirculation but-
ton is pushed and the mode control is set
to panel or panel / floor.
•The A/C can be deselected manually with-
out disturbing the mode control selection.
•When the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the recirculation feature
will be cancelled.
Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) — If Equipped
The Automatic Temperature Control system au-
tomatically maintains the climate in the cabin of
the vehicle at the comfort levels desired by the
driver and passenger.Automatic Operation
Operation of the system is quite simple.
1. Turn the Mode Control knob (on the right)
and the Blower Control knob (on the left) to
AUTO.
NOTE:
The AUTO position performs best for front
seat occupants only.Dial in the temperature
you would like the sys-
tem to maintain by rotat-
ing the Temperature
Control knob. Once the
comfort level is se-
lected, the system will
maintain that level auto-
matically using the heat-
ing system. Should the desired comfort level
require air conditioning, the system will auto-
matically make the adjustment.
You will experience the greatest efficiency by
simply allowing the system to function automati-
cally. Selecting the “O” (OFF) position on the
blower control stops the system completely and
closes the outside air intake.
The recommended setting for maximum com-
fort for the average person is 72° F (22° C);
however, this may vary.
Automatic Temperature Controls
153
•Air Conditioner Control
Push this button to turn
on the air conditioning
during manual opera-
tion only. When the air
conditioning is turned
on, cool dehumidified air
will flow through the out-
lets selected with the
Mode control dial. Push
this button a second time to turn OFF the air
conditioning. An LED in the button illuminates
when manual compressor operation is selected.
•Recirculation Control
The system will automatically con-
trol recirculation. However, pushing
the Recirculation Control button
will put the system in recirculation
mode. This can be used when out-
side conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or
high humidity are present. Activating recircula-
tion will cause the LED in the control button to
illuminate.NOTE:
•When the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position, the recirculation feature
will be cancelled.
•In cold weather, use of the Recirculation
mode may lead to excessive window fog-
ging. The Recirculation mode is not al-
lowed in defrost mode in order to improve
window clearing. Recirculation will be
disabled automatically if these modes are
selected.
•Extended use of recirculation may cause
the windows to fog. If the interior of the
windows begins to fog, push the Recircu-
lation button to return to outside air.
Some temp/humidity conditions will
cause captured interior air to condense
on windows and hamper visibility. For
this reason, the system will not allow
Recirculation to be selected while in de-
frost mode. Attempting to use the recircu-
lation while in these modes will cause the
LED in the control button to blink and
then turn off.•Most of the time, when in Automatic Op-
eration, you can temporarily put the sys-
tem into Recirculation Mode by pushing
the Recirculation button. However, under
certain conditions, while in Automatic
Mode, the system is blowing air out the
defrost vents. When these conditions are
present, and the Recirculation button is
pushed, the indicator will flash and then
turn off. This tells you that you are unable
to go into Recirculation Mode at this time.
If you would like the system to go into
Recirculation Mode, you must first move
the Mode knob to Panel, Bi-Level and then
push the Recirculation button. This fea-
ture reduces the possibility of window
fogging.
