Compass Calibration
The Compass will automatically calibrate if the Cal
indicator is flashing, by driving around slowly (under 5
mph / 8 km/h) in one or more complete circles in an area
free from large metallic objects or power lines, until the
Cal indicator turns off. If during normal use the compass
appears erratic, inaccurate or abnormal, you may wish to
calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrating the compass
make sure the proper zone is selected.
To manually calibrate the Compass:start the engine and
leave the transmission in the PARK position. With a short
button press (less than one second) press and release the
EVIC button several times until the EVIC displays the
Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features)
menu. Once in the Personal Settings (Customer Program-
mable Features) menu, press and release (less than one
second) the EVIC button several times until ªCalibrate
Compass (Yes)º is displayed. A long (longer than two
seconds) EVIC button Press will place the Compass in
calibration mode. The Cal indicator will come on con-
tinuously in the EVIC display to indicate that the com-
pass is now in the calibration mode and that the vehiclecan now be driven to calibrate. (A short EVIC button
press from the9Calibrate Compass (Yes)9screen will exit
the EVIC Customer Programmable features, and return it
to its normal operating mode). To complete the compass
calibration, drive the vehicle in one or more complete 360
degree circles under 5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from
power lines, large metallic objects, until the CAL indica-
tor turns off. The compass will now function normally.
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 ªap-
parentº malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES DUE TO A LOW
BATTERY
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever
the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition
switch is on. You can be hurt by the fan.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it
started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic trans-
axle cannot be started this way and may be damaged.
Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter
and once the engine has started, ignite and damage
the converter and vehicle. If the vehicle has a dis-
charged battery, booster cables may be used to ob-
tain a start from another vehicle. This type of start
can be dangerous if done improperly, so follow this
procedure carefully.
WARNING!
Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry
such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously
injured.
1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry
such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact.
2. When boosting from a battery in another vehicle, park
that vehicle within booster cable reach but without
letting the vehicles touch. Set parking brake, place auto-
matic transaxle in PARK (manual transaxle in NEU-
TRAL) and turn ignition to OFF for both vehicles.
3. Turn off the heater, radio and all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Remove the air intake duct covering the battery, using
the two finger screws on the cover.
