Compass

The vehicle may have a compass display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading and other
information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle speed
information.
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 a GPS signal
is restored and provide a heading again.

Clock

Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time/Date" under
Settings 0 130.

Power Outlets

Accessory power outlets can be used to plug
in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone,
MP3 player, etc.
If equipped, the vehicle may have accessory
power outlets:
In the center console.
On the center console, behind the
cupholders.
On the rear of the center storage console.
Lift the cover to access and replace when
not in use.
Warning
Power is supplied to the outlets when the
ignition is on. When not in use, do not
leave electrical equipment plugged in. The
vehicle could catch fire and cause injury
or death.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 15 amp
rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation instructions
included with the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0 229.
