Compass Display (If Equipped)The Compass can display direction indicated by N,
S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW. The sensor for the
compass display is located on the back side of the
rear view mirror. The Compass can be set to one of
15 geographic zones.
To set the ZONE, first locate the compass module

the reset button located on top of the compass
module until the display in the message center

to normal. Your zone will then be updated.The Compass is continually self-calibrating and
should not require calibration, however a
manual-calibrating mode can be initiated.
NOTE:Compass calibration requires that the
vehicle be driven 2-3 mph (3-5 km/h) in at least
two 360 degree circles. A safe location free of
vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be required. To
manually calibrate the compass, locate the reset
button on the top side of the compass module.
Press and hold the reset button until the Compass
display indicates ªCIRCLE SLOWLYº. Once the
button has been released, slowly drive the vehicle
in circles until the ªCIRCLE SLOWLYº indicator
disappears. This may require several complete
circles.

AVG ECON Ð Average Fuel EconomySelect this function to display your average fuel
economy in miles per gallon or liters per 100
kilometers. Your message center computes this
figure using the distance traveled and fuel used
information. If you want to reset this function, press
the RESET button while the average fuel economy
feature is displayed.
If you calculate your average fuel economy by
dividing miles traveled by gallons used, your figure
may be different than displayed because of:q
Your vehicle not being perfectly level during
fill-up
q
Differences in the automatic shut-off points on
the fuel pumps at service stations
q
Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up
to another
q
Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest
0.1 gallon (liters) on the fuel gauge.

EconomySelect this function to calculate your instantaneous
fuel economy. Your instantaneous fuel economy is
the fuel economy you get at any particular moment.
For example, you can see what your fuel economy
is in heavy traffic or on an open highway.
Your vehicle must be moving to calculate fuel
economy. When your vehicle is not moving,
instantaneous fuel economy is displayed at 0 miles
per gallon or 99 liters per 100 kilometers. When
you are moving, the display may read anything
between 0 and 99 miles/gallon (1 to 99 L/km).
