(located near the radio) until one of the follow-
ing Trip Functions displays in the EVIC:
•Average Fuel Economy
•Distance To Empty
•Elapsed Time
•Display Units of Measure in
Press the STEP button to cycle through all the Trip
Computer functions.
The Trip Functions mode displays the following information:
•Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the display will read,
“RESET” or show dashes for two seconds. Then, the
history information will be erased, and the averaging will
continue from the last fuel average reading before the
reset.
•Distance To Empty (DTE)
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with
the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous
and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel
tank level. DTE cannot be reset through the RESET
button.

NOTE:Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value.
•When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will
change to a text display ofLOW FUEL.This display
will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding
a significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off
theLOW FUELtext and a new DTE value will
display.
•Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset
when the ignition switch is in the ACC position. Elapsed
time will increment when the ignition switch is in the ON
or START position.
•Display Units of Measure in:

is calibrated. Calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or
metallic objects) until the “FLASH THE CAL” message
displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now
function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, or abnormal,
you may wish to calibrate the compass manually. Prior to

window. Press and release the RESET Button and the
“CAL” indicator will come on solid.4. Drive the vehicle slowly, completing one or more
circles (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the “CAL” 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
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 and cell phones should be
kept away from the top of the Instrument Panel. This is
where the compass sensor is located.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
