(4) Drive the vehicle 1 to 3 complete circles. The
CAL light will then go off, showing the compass is
calibrated. If the compass portion of the display:
² It does not display.
² Readings are not accurate after calibration.
² The vehicle may have too much magnetism for the
compass to be accurate.
² The compass circuitry is not working properly.
² Refer to Variance Procedure, Demagnetizing Pro-
cedure and/or Compass Diagnostics.
VARIANCE PROCEDURE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North
and geographic North. In some areas the difference
between magnetic and geographic North is great
enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If
this occurs, the variance must be set. To set the variance, depress and hold down both
the Comp/Temp button and the U.S./Metric button.
The display will go off and after 5 seconds the VAR
light will come on. Release both buttons. Using the
zone map (Fig. 5) to find your geographic location,
note the zone which, you are in. Press the U.S./Met-
ric button until the zone number appears on the dis-
play. Press the Comp/Temp button to enter your zone
number. Do not attach magnetic devices, such as magnetic
CB antennas to the vehicle roof, as they can cause
the compass to give false readings.
DEMAGNETIZING PROCEDURE
Every vehicle has its own magnetic field. This
magnetic field is created by the various processes a
steel roof goes through when the vehicle is built. A
magnetic field also can be created if the roof is sub-
jected to a magnet, example:
² Magnetic c.b. antenna
² Magnetic tipped screwdriver and etc.
If the roof becomes magnetized use a demagnetizer
tool 6029 to demagnetize the roof. In this demagnetizing procedure you will use the
demagnetizing tool to demagnetize the roof and
mounting screws in the overhead console. It is impor-
tant that you follow the instructions below exactly.
The mounting screws and the mounting brackets
around the compass area are steel, and therefore aid
in the demagnetizing of the roof panel. (1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetize procedure. (2) Open the sun glass compartment to gain access
to the overhead console mounting screws. (3) Plug the demagnetizing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet, keeping the demagnetizing
tool at least 12 inches away from the compass area
when plugging it in. (4) Slowly approach the console mounting screw
with the plastic coated tip of the tool for at least 2
seconds. (5) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the screw until the tip is at
least 12 inches from the screw head. (6) After you have pulled at least 12 inches from
the last screw, remove the demagnetizing tool from
inside of the vehicle and disconnect it from the elec-
trical outlet. (7) Place an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper length-
wise on the roof of vehicle directly above compass.
The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel
from scratches and define the area to be demagne-
tized. (8) Plug in the demagnetizing tool, keeping it at
least 2 feet away from the compass unit. (9) Slowly approach the center of the roof panel at
the windshield with the demagnetizing tool plugged
in. (10) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool.
Using slow sweeping motions of 1/2 inch between
sweeps. Move the tool approximately 4 inches either
side of the centerline and at least 11 inch back from
the windshield. (11) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back away from the roof panel until the tip is
at least 2 feet from the roof before unplugging the
tool.

MAP READING LAMPS OPERATION
The map lamps are actuated by pressing on the
lens (Fig. 1).
LAMP REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove lens by inserting a screw driver or
knife blade into slot located along-side of lens. Once
screwdriver is inserted pry lens to the side and swing
down as it unhooks from housing edge. (2) Remove lamp by pulling straight down.
(3) Install new lamp by pushing firmly into recep-
tacle. (4) Snap lens into position taking care to orient
the tabs on the lens with the slots in the housing.
MAP LAMP TEST
(1) Press each lamp switch. Right hand switch
should light passenger lamp and left hand switch
should light drivers lamp. (2) If lamp does not illuminate check for a burned
out lamp, voltage, defective switch or faulty wiring.
THERMOMETER AND COMPASS
The ignition switch must be in the ON or ACCES-
SORY position before the temperature and compass
reading can be displayed. The Comp/Temp switch
turns the compass display on and off. The US/Metric
switch changes the temperature reading from Fahr-
enheit to Celsius (Fig. 2). When the vehicle is standing still, engine compart-
ment temperatures may be radiated to the tempera-
ture sensor. Therefore the most accurate ambient
temperature readings are displayed when the vehicle
is moving in a forward motion. When the ignition switch is in the ON position the
temperature display is updated every 5 minutes.
When the ignition switch is turned off the last dis-
played temperature reading stays in memory. When
the ignition switch is turned on again the thermom-
eter will display the memory temperature for 1
minute; then update the display to the actual tem-
perature within 5 minutes.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Do not attempt to set the compass near large metal
objects, such as, other vehicles, large buildings, or
bridges. The compass unit automatically calibrates itself as
the vehicle is driven; therefore, no calibration should
be required. When the compass is first powered up,
the CAL light on the display should be on. The CAL
light will go off and the compass will be accurate af-
ter the vehicle completes one to three complete cir-
cles. If the vehicle's compass headings are inaccurate,
the compass also can be manually calibrated using
the following procedures: (1) Depress and hold down both the Comp/Temp
button and the U.S./Metric button. (2) The display will go off and after 5 seconds the
VAR light will come on. Continue to hold both but-
tons down. (3) In approximately 10 seconds, the CAL light
will come on. Release both buttons and the display
will show the heading and outside temperature. (4) Drive the vehicle 1 to 3 complete circles, with-
out turning ignition OFF. The CAL light will then
go off, showing the compass is calibrated.

(5) The variation may need to be adjusted. The
variation is the difference between magnetic north
and true north. To set variation refer the to Varia-
tion Setting Procedure. If the compass portion of the display is not lit or
compass readings are not accurate after calibration.
The vehicle may have too much magnetism for the
compass to be accurate or the compass circuitry is
not working properly. Refer to Variance Procedure,
Demagnetizing Procedure and/or Compass Diagnos-
tics.
VARIANCE PROCEDURE
Variance is the difference between magnetic North
and geographic North. In some areas the difference
between magnetic and geographic North is great
enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If
this occurs, the variance must be set.
VARIANCE SETTING PROCEDURE
To set the variance, depress and hold down both
the Comp/Temp button and the U.S./Metric button.
The display will go off and after 5 seconds the VAR
light will come on. Release both buttons. Using the
zone map (Fig. 3) to find your geographic location,
note the zone which you are in. Press the U.S./Metric button until the zone number appears on the display.
Press the Comp/Temp button to enter your zone
number. Do not attach magnetic devices, such as magnetic
CB antennas to the vehicle roof, as they can cause
the compass to give false readings.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The vehicle speed control is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the powertrain control module, lo-
cated next to battery. The controls are located on the
steering wheel and consist of the ON/OFF, RESUME/
ACCEL and SET/DECEL buttons (Fig. 1). For iden-
tification and location of the major components (Fig.
2 through 8).
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
35 mph (50 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF VEHICLE SPEED CON-
TROL IS NOT RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING
CONDITIONS DO NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A
CONSTANT SPEED, SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC
OR ON ROADS THAT ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW
COVERED, OR SLIPPERY.
TO ACTIVATE: The ON/OFF button to the de-
pressed latched position, ON, the vehicle speed con-
trol function is now ready for use. TO DEACTIVATE:
A soft tap of the brake pedal,
normal brake application or depressing the clutch
pedal while the system is engaged will disengage ve-
hicle speed control without erasing memory. A sud-
den increase in engine rpm may be experienced if the
clutch pedal is depressed while the vehicle speed con-
trol is engaged. Pushing the ON/OFF button to the
unlatched position or turning off the ignition erases
the memory. TO SET SPEED: When the vehicle has reached
the desired speed push the SET/DECEL button to en-
gage system which will then automatically maintain
the desired speed. TO DECELERATE: When vehicle speed control is
engaged, holding the SET/DECEL button depressed
allows the vehicle to coast to a lower speed setting.
