REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
— IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the RKE Key Fob
to start the engine conveniently
from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system
has a range of approximately 300 ft
(91 m). Obstructions between the
vehicle and RKE Key Fob may reduce this
range.NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an
automatic transmission to be equipped
with Remote Start.
•Obstructions between the vehicle and the
RKE Key Fob may reduce this range.

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.
2. Push and hold theCOMPASSbutton for
approximately two seconds.
3. Push theDOWN

exit.
NOTE:
The factory default Zone is 8. During pro-
gramming, the Zone value will wrap around
from Zone 15 to Zone 1.

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”
