Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi-
cator system. The Oil Change Required message will
display in the Instrument Cluster Display for approxi-
mately 10 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 depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position or
cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position if equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go. To turn off the message tempo-
rarily, push and release the BACK button. To reset the oil
change indicator system (after performing the scheduled
maintenance) refer to the following procedure.Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE
START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the
OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
1. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start
the engine, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If
necessary, repeat these steps.

When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km) estimated
driving distance, the DTE display will change to a “LOW
FUEL” message. This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant amount of fuel
to the vehicle will turn off the “LOW FUEL” message and
a new DTE value will display.
Current Fuel Economy (MPG or L/100 km)
This display shows the instantaneous MPG or L/100 km in
bar graph form while driving. This will monitor the gas
mileage in real-time as you drive and can be used to
modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

Compass / Temperature Display
The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. The Instrument Cluster Display will display eight
or fifteen compass readings and the outside temperature.
NOTE: The system will display the last known outside
temperature when starting the vehicle and may need to be
driven several minutes before the updated temperature is
displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the dis-
played temperature; therefore, temperature readings are
not updated when the vehicle is not moving.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need
to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is new,
the compass may appear erratic until it is calibrated. You
may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or
metallic objects). The compass will now function normally. NOTE:
A good calibration requires a level surface and an
environment free from large metallic objects such as build-
ings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL indicator does
not appear in the Instrument Cluster Display, you must put
the compass into the Calibration Mode manually, as fol-
lows:
1. Turn ON the ignition switch.
2. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the System Setup (Customer-Programmable Features) menu
is reached, then push and release the RIGHT button.
3. Push and release the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass” is displayed in the Instrument Cluster Dis-
play then push and release the RIGHT button.
4. Push and release the RIGHT button to start the calibra- tion. The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in the
Instrument Cluster Display.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”
indicator turns off. The compass will now function
normally.4

Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic
North and Geographic North. To compensate for the
differences the variance should be set for the zone where
the vehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly set,
the compass will automatically compensate for the differ-
ences, and provide the most accurate compass heading. For
the most accurate compass performance, the compass must
be set using the following steps.
NOTE:Keep magnetic materials away from the top of the
instrument panel, such as iPod’s, Mobile Phones, Laptops
and Radar Detectors. This is where the compass module is
located, and it can cause interference with the compass
sensor, and it may give false readings. 1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the
Setup (Customer-Programmable Features) menu is
reached, then push the RIGHT button.
3. Push and release the DOWN button until the “Compass Variance” message is displayed in the Instrument Clus-
ter Display, then press the RIGHT button. The last
variance zone number displays in the Instrument Clus-
ter Display.
4. Push and release the RIGHT button until the proper variance zone is selected, according to the map.

Playback Of MP3 Files
When a medium containing MP3 data is loaded, the radio
checks all files on the medium. If the medium contains a lot
of folders or files, the radio will take more time to start
playing the MP3 files.
Loading times for playback of MP3 files may be affected by
the following:
•Media - CD-RW media may take longer to load than
CD-R media
• Medium formats - Multisession discs may take longer to
load than non-multisession discs
• Number of files and folders - Loading times will increase
with more files and folders
To increase the speed of disc loading, it is recommended to
use CD-R media and single-session discs. To create a
single-session disc, enable the “Disc at Once” option before
writing to the disc.
