Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the
set/reset button while the desired
trip odometer is displayed.
The trip odometer has a feature
called the retro-active reset.
This can be used to set the trip
odometer to the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be
used if the trip odometer is not reset
at the beginning of the trip.
To use the retro-active reset feature,
press and hold the set/reset button
for at least four seconds. The trip
odometer will display the number of
miles (mi) or kilometers (km) driven
since the ignition was last turned on
and the vehicle was moving. Once
the vehicle begins moving, the trip
odometer will accumulate mileage.
For example, if the vehicle was
driven 5 miles (8 km) before it is
started again, and then the
retro-active reset feature is activated,
the display will show 5 miles (8 km).As the vehicle begins moving, the
display will then increase to 5.1 miles
(8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
If the retro-active reset feature is
activated after the vehicle is started,
but before it begins moving, the
display will show the number
of miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
that were driven during the
last ignition cycle.
RANGE
Press the trip/fuel button until
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle’s fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimate
will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in
traffic and making frequentstops, this display may read one
number, but if the vehicle is driven
on a freeway, the number may
change even though the same
amount of fuel is in the fuel tank.
This is because different driving
conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving. Fuel
range cannot be reset.
AVG (Average) ECONOMY
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
ECONOMY displays. This display
shows the approximate average
miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This
number is calculated based on
the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time
this menu item was reset. To reset
AVG ECONOMY, press and
hold the set/reset button.
Instrument Panel 3-45

TIMER
Press the trip/fuel button until
TIMER displays. This display can
be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press the
set/reset button while TIMER is
displayed. The display will show the
amount of time that has passed
since the timer was last reset, not
including time the ignition is off.
Time will continue to be counted as
long as the ignition is on, even if
another display is being shown on
the DIC. The timer will record
up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and
59 seconds (99:59:59) after which
the display will return to zero.
To stop the timer, press the set/reset
button briey while TIMER is
displayed.
To reset the timer to zero, press
and hold the set/reset button while
TIMER is displayed.FUEL USED
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL
USED displays. This display
shows the number of gallons (gal)
or liters (L) of fuel used since
the last reset of this menu item. To
reset the fuel used information,
press and hold the set/reset button
while FUEL USED is displayed.
AVG (Average) SPEED
Press the trip/fuel button until AVG
SPEED displays. This display
shows the average speed of the
vehicle in miles per hour (mph) or
kilometers per hour (km/h). This
average is calculated based on the
various vehicle speeds recorded
since the last reset of this value. To
reset the value to zero, press
and hold the set/reset button.
Blank Display
This display shows no information.DIC Compass
Your vehicle may have a compass
in the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer/
retailer will set the correct zone for
your location.
Under certain circumstances,
such as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving
to a new state or province, it will be
necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference
between the earth’s magnetic
north and true geographic north. If
the compass is not set to the
zone where you live, the compass
may give false readings. The
compass must be set to the variance
zone in which the vehicle is
traveling.
3-46 Instrument Panel

To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure
1. Do not set the compass zone
when the vehicle is moving.
Only set it when the vehicle is in
P (Park).
Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
VTO
CHANGE COMPASS ZONE
displays.2. Find the vehicle’s current
location and variance zone
number on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are available.
3. Press the set/reset button
to scroll through and select the
appropriate variance zone.
4. Press the trip/fuel button until the
vehicle heading, for example,
N for North, is displayed in
the DIC.
5. If calibration is necessary,
calibrate the compass. See
“Compass Calibration Procedure”
following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the
vehicle in circles is not a danger. It
is suggested to calibrate awayfrom tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the
DIC display, the compass should be
calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for
North, or the heading does not
change after making turns, there
may be a strong magnetic eld
interfering with the compass. Such
interference may be caused by
a magnetic CB or cell phone
antenna mount, a magnetic
emergency light, magnetic note pad
holder, or any other magnetic
item. Turn off the vehicle, move the
magnetic item, then turn on the
vehicle and calibrate the compass.
Instrument Panel 3-47

To calibrate the compass, use the
following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
make sure the compass zone is
set to the variance zone in
which the vehicle is located. See
“Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof, climate
controls, seats, etc. during the
calibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
VTO
CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to start
the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display
CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN
CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in
tight circles at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) to complete the
calibration. The DIC willdisplay CALIBRATION
COMPLETE for a few seconds
when the calibration is complete.
The DIC display will then
return to the previous menu.
DIC Warnings and
Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status
of the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by
