Trip Odometer Reset

The trip odometer has a retroactive
reset feature, which sets the trip odome-
ter to the number of miles driven since
the ignition was last turned on. This can
be useful if you forget to reset the trip
odometer before beginning a trip.
To use the retroactive reset feature,
push and hold the trip/reset button for at
least six seconds.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Compass Calibration

The vehicle's compass heading is dis-
played on the DIC display. In some
instances, the compass may not be fully
calibrated from the factory, resulting in
the letter "C" for calibration displayed on
the DIC. Should this condition occur, find
a large area free from metal objects and
drive in a continuous circle three times
to calibrate the compass. The compass
will subsequently calibrate itself.
Also note that there is a difference
between magnetic north and geographic
("true") north, which is great enough in
some areas of the country to give a
false reading. In this case, manual cali-
bration is required. See your Owner
Manual to manually calibrate the
compass.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Auto Door Lock/Unlock

Your vehicle is factory-set to automati-
cally lock all doors when all doors are
closed, the engine is running and the
shift lever is moved out of the Park (P)
position. All of the doors will also unlock
automatically after the vehicle has been
shifted back into Park. If your vehicle
is equipped with the DIC, you can use
the DIC MODE and SET buttons to
personalize the automatic lock/unlock to
one of these settings:
• OFF: When the shift lever is put in
Park, the doors will not unlock
automatically.
• DRIVER: When the shift lever is put
in Park, only the driver's door will
unlock automatically.
• ALL: When the shift lever is put in
Park, all doors will unlock automati-
cally (original factory setting).
If the DRIVER or ALL setting is selected,
you can also choose additional settings:
• PARK: Automatically unlocks the
selected door(s) when the shift lever
is placed into Park (original factory
setting).
• KEY OUT: Unlocks the door(s) when
the ignition key is removed.
Full DIC programming instructions for
this and all other DIC modes are in your
Owner Manual.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
