Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases the calibration symbol C will be displayed
where the compass reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make three 360° turns. The calibration
symbol will turn off and the compass reading will
be displayed.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode.
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
compass/temperature mode. Press both the E/M and
MODE buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds
until the calibration symbol appears. Release both
buttons and complete three 360° turns in an area free
from large metal objects. The calibration symbol will turn
off and the compass reading will be displayed.
Error Displays
•
An error of the vehicle's speed sensor or fuel
sender will cause -E- to be displayed.
•
In the absence of vehicle communications, a dash
"- -" is displayed.
If one of these error messages appear, see your dealer.
Trip Computer
There are five trip computer displays available by
pushing the MODE button. The information will appear
in the following order:
AVG ECON (Average Fuel Economy): This shows the
average fuel economy since the last reset.
INST ECON (Instant Fuel Economy): This shows fuel
economy for the most recent second of driving.
RANGE (Trip Range): This shows the estimated
distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel.
The fuel economy used to calculate range is based
on the last few hours of driving.
