Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Instrument Cluster. The
compass receives its heading and
other information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), and vehicle speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
