Compass, Outside Temperature Display / ECO
(Fuel Saver Mode) — If Equipped
The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. Push and release the COMPASSbutton to display
one of eight compass headings, the outside temperature/
ECO if the EVIC display is not already displaying this
screen.
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.

ECO (Fuel Saver Mode) — If Equipped
The ECO message will display below the outside tem-
perature in the EVIC display (if the audio system is on
the ECO indicator will override the audio information
display line if theDisplay Fuel Saver personal setting is
ON — see Personal Settings section). This message will
appear whenever you are driving in a fuel efficient
manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving
in a fuel efficient manner, and it can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic, and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass 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) until the “CAL” message displayed in
the EVIC 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.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” indicator
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Start the engine. Leave the shift lever in PARK in order to enter the EVIC Programming Menus.
2. Push the MENU button until Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features) displays in the
EVIC.

3. Push the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass”displays in the EVIC.
4. Push and release the RIGHT button to start the calibration. The “CAL” indicator will display in the
EVIC.
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.
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
differences and provide the most accurate compass head-
ing. NOTE:
Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the top of the instrument panel; this is where the compass
sensor is located.

the fuel remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is
determined by a weighted average of the instantaneous

tank level. DTE cannot be reset.
NOTE: Significant changes in driving style or vehicle
loading will greatly affect the actual drivable distance of
the vehicle, regardless of the DTE display value.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 351

When the DTE value is less than 30 miles (48 km)
estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change
to a text display ofLOW FUEL.” This display will
continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
LOW FUEL text, and a new DTE value will display.

Oil Change Required
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will display in the EVIC display for approximately 5
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the

engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. To
turn off the message temporarily, push and release the
MENU button. To reset the oil change indicator system

NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
