JEEP WRANGLER 2016 JK / 3.G Owners Manual

Push and release the STEP button on the steering wheel
to access the options in the Compass display.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 tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the
displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings
are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.
The following displays can be reset or changed:
• Compass/Temperature
• AVG ECO (changes to present fuel economy)
• ET (will reset display)
• DTE (distance to empty)
These messages can be cycled through by pushing the
STEP button on the steering wheel. To reset the AVG ECO
or ET, push and hold the STEP button for approximately
three seconds.

Compass/Temperature Display
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with a Uconnect Navi-
gation Radio, the NAV system will provide the compass
direction, and the variance and calibration menus will be
unavailable. The compass will perform accurately, based
on GPS signals instead of the Earth’s magnetic field.
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.
To Set The Variance
Start the engine and leave the transmission gear selector
lever in the PARK position. Push and hold the RESET
button on the steering wheel (for approximately ten
seconds) until the current variance zone number is dis-
played. To change the zone, push and release the STEP
Compass Variance Map
340 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

button to increase the variance one step. Repeat as
necessary until the desired variance is achieved.
NOTE:The factory default zone is 8. During program-
ming, the zone value will wrap around from zone 15 to
zone 1.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate or abnormal,
you may wish to calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrat-
ing the compass, make sure the proper zone is selected.
1. Start the engine and leave the transmission in the PARK position.
2. Push and hold the RESET button (for approximately 10 seconds) until the current variance zone number is
displayed. 3. Release the RESET button, then push and hold again
for approximately 10 seconds, until the direction is
displayed, with the CAL indicator on continuously in
the display.
4. 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 and
large metallic objects, until the CAL indicator turns
off. The compass will now function normally.
NOTE:
• A good calibration requires a level surface and an
environment free from large metallic objects such as
buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad
tracks, etc.
• Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top
of the center of the instrument panel. This is where the
compass sensor is located.

Average Fuel Economy / Distance To Empty (DTE)
/ Elapsed Time
•Average Fuel Economy
Shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
When the fuel economy is reset, the digits will go blank
while the history information is erased. The averaging
will restart when enough new distance and fuel data is
accumulated.
• 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. •
Elapsed Time
Shows the total elapsed time of travel since the last reset.
Elapsed time will increment when the ignition switch is
in the RUN or START positions. The elapsed timer
displays minutes:seconds. After 59minutes:59seconds, it
displays hours:minutes:seconds.
Trip Conditions
Trip Odometer (ODO) / ECO (Fuel Saver Indicator)
— If Equipped
This display shows the distance traveled since the last
reset. Push and release the right button (on the instru-
ment cluster) to switch from odometer to Trip A or Trip B
or to ECO. Push and hold the right button while the
odometer/trip odometer is displayed to reset.

Trip A
Shows the total distance traveled for trip A since the last
reset.
Trip B
Shows the total distance traveled for trip B since the last
reset.
ECO (Fuel Saver Indicator) — If Equipped
The ECO indicator will illuminate when you are driving
in a fuel efficient manner and can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.
