Compass Calibration
If after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (for example, N for North), there may
be a strong magnetic eld interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic
item. If the letter C should ever appear in the compass
window, the compass may need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads
a direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holding the on/off button
untilaCisshown in the compass display.

OFF:Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do
become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated
headlamps. After the windshield wipers have been on
for approximately six seconds, the headlamps will
automatically turn on. SeeWiper Activated Headlamps
on page 3-16for more information.Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on
the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and
the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes
will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur
more frequently. The Rainsense™ II wipers operate in a
delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed
as needed. If the system is left on for long periods
of time, occasional wipes may occur without any
moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates
that the Rainsense™ II system is activated.
The Rainsense™ II system can be activated by turning
the wiper band to one of the ve sensitivity levels
indicated on the wiper stalk. The position closest to OFF
is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows
more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Turning the wiper band away from you to
higher sensitivity levels increases the sensitivity of the
system and frequency of wipes. The highest sensitivity
setting, level ve is closest to LO. A single wipe will
occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher
sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has
been increased.

yPASS TEMPz(Passenger’s Temperature):
Press this switch to turn the passengers’ climate control
systems on. Press this switch to manually increase
or decrease the temperature for the front passenger.
PASS OFF (Passenger’s Climate Control):Press this
button to turn all passenger climate control systems off.
If the passenger’s temperature switch is turned off, the
driver’s temperature knob will control the temperature for
the entire vehicle.
A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to override
the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning
system on or off. When in AUTO the air-conditioning
compressor will come on automatically, as necessary.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Open all outlets.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
If your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to
recall your climate control settings. For more information,
seeClimate Controls Personalization on page 3-39.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have
a new odometer installed. The new one may read
the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s
computer has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other,
press the A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how
many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or
Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear
to reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is rst sold in the United States,
the trip odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your vehicle is rst sold in Canada, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 1,242 miles (1 999 km).
The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets the trip
mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip mode
must be reset individually.
Display Mode
On vehicles equipped with the analog cluster, this
button is located between the trip odometer and
ENG/MET button to the left of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel. Press DSPL MODE to turn the
