Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the
country, the difference is great enough to cause the
compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the
compass must be set.
Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self
-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases, the calibration symbol C will be displayed
where the compass reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make three 360 degree turns. The
calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading
will be displayed.Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode. To get into this
mode, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
compass/temperature mode.
2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than
three seconds.

2-109
ZONE # PRESS & HOLD SET TO CHANGE: This
display mode will be displayed when you are manually
calibrating the system. The current zone number for
compass variance will be displayed in place of the
# symbol. Use the SET button to select the zone number
from the graphic shown to select the current area of the
country that you are driving in.
PRESS SET TO CALIBRATE COMPASS: After
selecting your zone, press the MODE button and this
will be displayed on the DIC. Press the SET button and
complete three 360 degree turns in an area free from
large metal objects.
The following two messages will toggle in the display
until you calibrate the compass:

its normal mode.Driver Information Center (DIC)
Vehicle Customization
The DIC is used to program the choices of two drivers.
The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1 and
DRIVER 2 in the DIC display. You will let the DIC
know which driver you are by using your remote keyless
entry transmitter. Each remote keyless entry transmitter
was pre
-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or
DRIVER 2. Each transmitter may be programmed
differently for each driver's preferences.
After you press the LOCK button on your transmitter
and the ignition key is in ON, the DIC will display the
identified driver number. The vehicle will also recall the
vehicle customization features that were last
programmed to correspond to your transmitter.
If you unlock your vehicle using your key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
your vehicle will recall the information from the last
transmitter used.

Head-Up Display (HUD) (Option)
CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in
your field of view, it may take you more time to
see things you need to see when it's dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If your vehicle has this option, it can display the
speedometer reading in English or metric. The current
radio station, CD number and/or track number or tape
may also be displayed and will appear as an image
focused out toward the front of your vehicle.
The HUD is capable of displaying English or French.
See ªDriver Information Center (DIC) Messagesº
earlier in this section to change the display from English
to metric.The Head
-Up Display also displays the following lights
and messages when they appear on the instrument
panel cluster:

Turn Signal Indicators

High
-Beam Indicator

Low
-Fuel Warning Message
See each of these features in the Index for
more information.
The Head
-Up Display also displays a CHECK GAGES
icon. The following messages could appear on the
instrument panel cluster when CHECK GAGES appears:

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Message

Low Oil Pressure Message

Charging System Indicator Message

Low Brake Fluid Warning Message
See each of these messages in the Index for
more information.

2-123
Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls and
driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD. If you never look at your instrument
panel cluster, you may not see something important,
such as a warning light. Under important warning
conditions, the CHECK GAGES icon will illuminate in
the HUD. Glance at your instrument panel cluster for
more information.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near the
front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid.
The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If
you try to use it as such, you may misjudge the
distance and damage your vehicle.
The HUD controls are
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
When the HUD is on, the speedometer reading will
always be displayed. The current radio station, cassette
tape or CD number and track number will only be
displayed for three seconds after the radio, tape or CD
track status changes. This will happen whenever one of
the radio controls is pressed, either on the radio or on
the audio steering wheel controls (if equipped).

2-124
To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly:
1. Start your engine and turn the dimmer knob to the
desired HUD image brightness.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
the ambient light conditions in the direction your
vehicle is facing and where you have the HUD
dimmer knob set. If you are facing a dark object or a
heavily shaded area, your HUD may anticipate that
you are entering a dark area and may begin to dim.
2. Adjust the driver's seat. If you change your seat
position later, you may have to readjust your HUD.
3. Press the UP or DN buttons until the HUD image is
easy to see and then press the DN button until the
HUD image is as low as possible, but, remains in full
view straight ahead near the front bumper.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down,
not side
-to-side.
4. To turn the image off, turn the dimmer knob
counterclockwise to OFF.
If the sun comes out or it becomes cloudy, you may need
to adjust the HUD brightness again using the dimmer
knob. Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.When you first start the vehicle the display will show
BUICK and the Buick logo for a few seconds. If it is
cold outside, this display may stay on for up to a minute.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens because the
cleaner could leak into the unit.
If the ignition is on and you can't see the HUD image,
check one of the following:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD dimmer knob is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height,

ambient light (in the direction your vehicle is facing)
is low, or

a fuse is blown. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in
the Index.
Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the HUD
system. If you ever have to have your windshield
replaced, be sure to get one that is designed for HUD or
your HUD image may look blurred and out of focus.

Rear Parking Assist (RPA) (Option)
RPA can help you to determine how close an object is to
your rear bumper within a given area, making parking
easier. The four ultrasonic sensors located on the rear
bumper detect the distance to the object in the given
area. It is not intended to be used primarily as a rear
obstacle detection system.
Your vehicle's RPA operates when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is
less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The RPA display is located
inside the vehicle, above the rear window. It has
three color
-coded lights that can be seen through the
rearview mirror.
RPA can be turned off by
pressing the rear park aid
disable switch located in the
center console switchbank.
When the switch is on an
indicator light will glow on
the switch.

2-126
How the System Works
If the rear park aid disable switch is not on, the rear
parking assist will turn on automatically when the shift
lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle
speed is less then 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system
turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate
for 1.5 seconds to let you know that the system is
working. The red light will flash to indicate that the
system is disabled if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater then 3 mph (5 km/h).
When shifting into REVERSE (R) with the vehicle
speed less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and an object is
detected, one of the following will occur:
A chime will sound the first time an object is detected,
if the object is between 20 inches (0.5 m) and
5 feet (1.5 m) away.
RPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (2.5 cm) tall, but cannot detect
objects that are above liftgate level. In order for the rear
sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.

2-127
When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly
The light will flash red when shifting into REVERSE (R)
if a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or an
object was on the back of, or hanging out of your liftgate
during your last drive cycle. The light will continue to
flash whenever in REVERSE (R), until your vehicle is
driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any
obstructions behind the vehicle.It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or the system may not
work properly. Other conditions that may affect system
performance include things like the vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very
large truck. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then
driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display
continues to flash red, see your dealer.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.
