Compass/Temperature Display

This display provides the outside temperature and one of
eight compass readings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing.

Automatic Compass Calibration

The self calibrating feature of the compass eliminates the
need to calibrate the compass for normal conditions.
During a short initial period, the compass may appear
erratic and the CAL symbol will appear on the display.
The CAL symbol may also appear after the vehicle is
subjected to a high level of magnetism. After completing
three 360 turns at about 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free
from large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will
turn off and the compass will function normally.

Manual Compass Calibration

If the compass appears erratic and the CAL light does not
appear, you must calibrate the compass. Find an open
area away from large metal objects. With the ignition ON
and the compass/temperature displayed, press and hold
the RESET button until the CAL symbol appears (about
10 seconds). Drive slowly (about 5 mph/ 8 km/h) in 3
complete 360 circles. The CAL light will turn off and the
compass will be calibrated.
