Compass Calibration (optional)
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 Section 3 of the
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
automatically (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 sun-
set. The DRL illuminates only the head-
lamps – not the taillamps or side marker
lamps.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
