Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which reduces the need
to calibrate the compass manually. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display ªCALº until the compass is calibrated. You may
also calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360É turns at speeds less than 5 mph (8 km/h) (in an area
free from large metal or metallic objects) until the ªCALº
message displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass
will now function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the ªCALº message
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1.Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.2.Press the MENU buttonuntil ªPersonal
Settingsº is displayed.
3.Press the STEP buttonuntil ªCalibrate Compass YESº
is displayed.
4.Press and release the RESET buttonto start the
calibration. The message ªCALº will display on the
compass temperature screen in the EVIC.
5.Slowly drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h)
in a complete 360Écircle, (in an area free from large
metal or metallic objects) until the ªCALº message
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
North and geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
174 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set
using the following procedure:
NOTE:Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the overhead console. This is where the compass sensor is
located.1.Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2.Press the MENU buttonuntil ªPersonal

When the voltage is above this value again, the malfunc-
tion indicator light should go out and the ABS is opera-
tional. If the malfunction indicator light stays illumi-
nated, have the system checked at an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
12. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. The
light should turn on momentarily when the engine
is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the

chime will sound when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
13. Tachometer
This gauge measures engine Revolutions-Per-Minute
(RPM x 1000).14. Shift Lever Indicator
The shift lever indicator is self-contained within the
instrument cluster. It displays the position of the auto-
matic transmission shift lever, and the relation of each
position to all other positions. For a good signal the
display will place a box around the selected transmission
range (PRND21). If the PRNDL displays only the char-
acters PRND21 (no boxes), have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
15. Odometer / Trip Odometer
The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To
switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and
release the Trip Odometer button.

Vehicle Warning Messages
For non-Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles, when the appropriate conditions ex-
ist, messages such as ªdoor ajarº (indicates that a door(s)
may be ajar), ªgASCAPº (which indicates that your gas
cap is possibly loose or damaged),9CHANgE OILº
(indicates that the engine oil should be changed), ªLo-
WASHº (low washer fluid), and ªnoFUSEº (indicates
that the IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated Power
Module), will display in the odometer.
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with an EVIC, most
warnings will display in the EVIC. For additional infor-
mation, refer to ªElectronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) Ð If Equippedº in Section 3.
The outside temperature will display in the odometer for
non-EVIC equipped vehicles. Pressing the trip odometer
RESET button toggles the feature back to the odometer.Change Oil Message
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The ªChange Oilº message will flash in
the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the
next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument
cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position(Do not
start the engine).
208 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three
times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.
16. Odometer
The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. There-
fore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or
replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading
before and after the service so that the correct mileage can
be determined.17. Fog Light Indicator
This light shows when the fog lights are ON.
18. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
The yellow Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
indicator light in the speedometer area illumi-
nates with the key in the ignition switch turned
to the ON/RUN position and it should go out
with the engine running. The ESP is also combined with
the Traction Control System (TCS), when the9ESP/TCSº
Indicator Light9starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESP system becomes active. The9ESP/
TCS Indicator Light9also flashes when TCS is active. If
the9ESP/TCS Indicator Light9begins to flash during
acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions. The ªESP/TCS
Indicator Lightº becomes illuminated when the ESP-Off
