Compass

The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
from Global Positioning System
(GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak, and
vehicle speed information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for
long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
See Multi-Band Antenna on
page 6 18 for the location of the
vehicle's antennas. 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
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See Compass
Messages on page 4 28 for more
information on the messages that
may be displayed for the compass.
