Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the
vehicle is outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the
difference between earth’s magnetic north and true
geographic north. If not adjusted to account for
compass variance, your compass could give false
readings.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the compass/temperature
button for six seconds until a zone number
appears in the display.
3. Press the compass/temperature button on
the bottom of the mirror until the new zone
number appears in the display. After you stop
pressing the button, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.

Interior Lamps
The thumbwheel for the interior lamps is located
next to the exterior lamps control. SeeExterior
Lamps on page 166for additional information on
location.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Lights):Turn the
thumbwheel up or down to brighten or dim the
instrument panel lights and the radio display.
The instrument panel lights, cluster, and radio
display do not dim to complete darkness.
The instrument panel light brightness control will
only work if the headlamps or parking lamps
are on. SeeExterior Lamps on page 166.
Dome Lamp
The dome lamp will come on when a door is
opened. They will shut off several seconds after
all doors are closed.
You can also turn the dome lamp on manually by
turning the interior lamps thumbwheel all the
way up. In this position, the dome lamp will remain
on whether a door is opened or closed. See
Interior Lamps on page 170for additional
information on location.
Dome Lamp Override
E(Dome Override):Press this button, located
below the exterior lamp control, to turn the
dome lamp off even when a door is opened. See
Exterior Lamps on page 166for more information

Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
when you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left on
for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is
in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery from
running down.
171

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed
in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Simply press the trip information
stem. See “Odometer” underDIC Controls
and Displays on page 194for more information.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. If the new one
can be set to the mileage total of the old odometer,
then it must be. But if it cannot, then it is set at
zero, and a label must be put on the driver’s door
to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
Your vehicle has a trip odometer that can tell you
how far your vehicle has been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero.
See “Trip Odometer” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 194for more information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning area.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light
This light turns on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 167
for more information.
Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on,
the fuel gage tells you
about how much
fuel you have remaining
in the fuel tank.Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these indicate a problem with your
fuel gage:
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than
the gage indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than
half the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a
corner or speed up.
The gage does not go back to empty when
you turn off the ignition.
When the fuel in the fuel tank is low, you will see
a LOW FUEL message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 198for more information.
