Compass Calibration

(if equipped)
The vehicle's compass heading is
shown on the DIC display. In some
instances, the compass may not be fully
calibrated from the factory, resulting in
the letter "C" for calibration appearing
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
calibration is required. See Section 3
of your Owner Manual to manually
calibrate the compass.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Auto Door Lock/Unlock

The DIC (optional) is factory-set to auto-
matically 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. Using
the DIC MODE and SET buttons, you
can personalize the automatic
lock/unlock to one of several different
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 auto-
matically (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
Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

The DRL safety feature illuminates the
headlamps at a reduced intensity during
the day to make the front of the vehicle
more visible to others. This feature
can be of particular help in the short
periods just after dawn and shortly
before sunset. The DRL illuminates only
the headlamps — not the taillamps or
side-marker lamps.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
