INST ECONOMY (Instant Economy):Instant fuel
economy reects the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now. Instant fuel economy varies
with your driving conditions, such as acceleration,
braking and the grade of the road being
traveled. Unlike average fuel economy, instant fuel
economy cannot be reset.
FUEL RANGE:The fuel range is an estimated
distance that your vehicle can travel on the
remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate
the range is based on your driving history since
the last reset of the average speed.
FUEL USED:The fuel used display will show you
how much fuel has been used since the last
time it was reset. To reset the fuel used to zero,
press and hold the SET button while the fuel used
is displayed on the DIC and until the display
goes to zero.AVG SPEED (Average Speed):The average

the average speed, press and hold the SET button
while the average speed is displayed on the
DIC and until the speed resets to your current
speed.
OIL LIFE LEFT HOLD SET TO RESET:This

life by the engine oil life system. Be careful not
to reset this display other than when the oil
has been changed. See “How to Reset the Engine
Oil Life System” underEngine Oil Life System
on page 368for more information.
In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring
the oil life, additional maintenance is
recommended in the Maintenance Schedule in this

Your vehicle has a compass in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
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 recalibrated.
Compass Calibration
If the calibration required symbol, or C, appears in
the compass, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode. To enter this
mode, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on and press the MODE
button until CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays.
2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than
three seconds.

This display mode will appear when you are
manually calibrating the system. When the
compass is being recalibrated for the rst time, the
zone symbol will be displayed. When the compass
is being recalibrated any time after that, the currentzone number for compass variance will be
displayed in place of the zone symbol. Press the
SET button to select the zone number from the
graphic shown to select the current area of the
country in which you are driving.
PRESS SET TO CALIBRATE COMPASS:After
selecting your zone, press the MODE button and
this will be displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the
SET button and complete three 360 degree turns in

DIC Vehicle Personalization
The DIC is used to program the choices of
two drivers. The drivers are recognized as
DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 in the DIC display. You
will let the DIC know which driver you are by using
your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
Each RKE transmitter was pre-programmed
to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 and the
corresponding numbers, 1 or 2, appear on
the back of the transmitters. Each transmitter may
be programmed differently for each driver’s
preferences (lights, doors, horn, or activate the
programmed radio stations for driver 1 or driver 2)
using your RKE transmitter.
After you press the LOCK button on your RKE
transmitter and the ignition key is in ON, the DIC
will display the identied driver number. The
vehicle will also recall the vehicle customization
features that were last programmed to correspond
to your RKE transmitter.
If you unlock your vehicle using your key instead
of your RKE transmitter, the DIC will not change
drivers and your vehicle will recall the information
from the last transmitter used.If your vehicle does not have a DIC, you do not
have available the vehicle customization features
using the RKE transmitter.
Entering Programming Mode
To program features, your vehicle must be in the
programming mode. Do the following:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON with the vehicle in
PARK (P).
To avoid excessive drain on the battery, it is
recommended that the headlamps are
turned off.
2. Press and release the MODE button, scrolling
through the DIC messages, until
PERSONALIZATION PRESS SET TO BEGIN
is displayed.
3. Press the SET button and TO SELECT
DRIVER PRESS REMOTE LOCK will appear.
Press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. This identies which
RKE transmitter is being programmed by
displaying PERSONALIZATION FOR
DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2.

Radio with CD
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS features are available for use only on
FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
252

With RDS, your radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specic
information from these stations and only works
when the information is available. In rare cases, a
radio station can broadcast incorrect information
that can cause the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters display instead of the
frequency. RDS stations can also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
