Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature,
compass direction and trip information in the
overhead console.
USMET The USMET (United Statedmetric) button
allows you to switch the display between
the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes
of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
OFF: This button turns the system off.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one
of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move
the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is
37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning
to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to be
manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the
compass will need
to be calibrated. You may also place the
compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and holding
the MODE and USMET buttons simultaneously while in
the COMPREMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the
compass will display
C and you can release the buttons.
Drive
the vehicle in a complete 360" circle three times at
a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will
function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the
display will return
to a compass reading.

Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map earlier in this
section. Note your zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the USMET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number,
When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE
button will step
you through the following
TRIP functions:
0 AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since the
last reset
is displayed.
INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for the
last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours
of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.

To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and
US/MET buttons simultaneously for at least two
seconds.

engine starts.
If the light flashes, the Passlock system has entered a
tamper mode.
If the vehicle fails to start, see “Passlock”

stays
on, there may be a problem with the Passlock
system. Your vehicle will not be protected by Passlock,
and you should see your dealer.

Mode Knob - Automatic Operation
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery. When the system is
set for automatic operation, sensors will control the air
delivery mode.
Air will come primarily from the floor or
instrument panel outlets, with some air directed to the
windshield to prevent fogging.
When the system is in AUTO mode, the air conditioning
light will turn on, and the recirculation and outside air
lights turn
off. With the system in full auto control
(both the fan and mode knobs
in AUTO), you still have
the ability to override any function. However,
continually overriding the outside air or the
A/C
compressor will limit the ability of the system to cool
the vehicle quickly.
If you push a button for a function which is nor
available, the light next to that button will flash three
times to alert you that it’s not available.
To find your comfort zone, start with the
74°F (23 O C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
adjust the temperature if necessary.
With the automatic setting, the
air conditioning compressor
automatically cycles when needed to cool the
air. In cold
weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the
airflow
will be directed out the floor outlets. As the interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the
blower speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort,
the &ow will adjust between the instrument panel
air
outlets and floor outlets. On bright sunny days in cool
weather, the alrflow may come out
of the air conditioning
and floor outlets (bi-level mode) to maintain comfort and
prevent stuffiiess.
To avoid blowing cold
air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm
air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside
air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine was last started.
As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to
the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If your vehicle is sitting out on a warm day and you
have the fan set on AUTO, the air will first flow out of
the floor air outlets
for a few seconds. That is normal.
This is to expel hot air from the air outlets.
As the air is
cooled, the airflow will move through the
air
conditioning outlets.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located around the center of the instrument panel.
This sensor is used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
