3verhead Console Reading Lamps
The overhead console includes reading lamps, a
driver information system, a storage compartment
for sunglasses and a universal transmitter. Press the button near each
lamp to
turn
the reading
lamps on and
off.
The lamps can also be swiveled to point in the
desired direction.
Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature, compass
direction and trip information
in the overhead console.
The
US/MET (United Statedmetric) button allows you to
switch the display between the English and metric system.
The
MODE button can be used to toggle between three
modes
of operation: OFF, COMPITEMP and TRIP.
ProCarManuals.com

OFF: This 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 US/MET buttons
simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP 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. Note your
zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.
ProCarManuals.com

3.
4.
5.
After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number. When it does, release both buttons.
Press US/MET until your zone number appears
on
the display.
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
0
0
0
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
USMET buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.
All functions will be displayed for a 112 second once the
system is reset. Reset can only be performed
in the AVG
ECON,
FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes. All three
modes are reset simultaneously.
Sunelasses Storaee Comnartment

overhead console, press the release button. Then pull the
compartment down.

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 miles.
Your odometer
is tamper resistant. It will show silver
lines between the numbers
if someone tries to turn
it back.
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 can’t, then it’s 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
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since
you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To set the trip odometer to zero, press the button near
the readout.
Tachometer
Each tachometer has a different limit depending on the
powertrain
in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions. For example, when
the needle points to
2, it means the engine is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed
is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long with
the tachometer in the red warning range. Lift your foot
off
of the accelerator pedal.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is
at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a
higher gear, or lift your foot
off of the accelerator pedal.
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range, or engine damage
will occur.
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).

Theft-Deterrent Feature
Delco LOC II@ is a theft-deterrent feature for the
compact disc player.
It can be used or ignored. If ignored,
the system plays normally. If used, your player won’t be
usable
if it is ever stolen, because it won’t turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to enter a secret
code into the system. It
is recommended that you read
through all 11 steps before starting the procedure. If
your vehicle loses battery power for any reason, you
must unlock the system with your secret code before the
radio will turn on.
NOTE: If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse
between any steps,
the radio automatically reverts to
time and you must start the procedure over at Step 4.
