COMPASS
DRIVER INFORMATION
If your vehicle has a DIC,
it also is equipped with an
electronic compass.
As
with all compasses,
this unit senses the earth’s
magnetic field to show
the direction the vehicle is
pointing. The
earth’s magnetic field is not always the same
direction as true north as we know it.
So, you must enter
a zone number to tell the compass the difference
between magnetic and actual north. This tells the
compass where in the country you are driving.
The compass remembers your zone,
so you only have
to change it
if you drive to a new zone on the map.
The compass adjusts only
a small amount for each
zone, so you may not notice a difference
if you drive
from one zone to the next one, until you cross
several zones.
3-68

Choosing Your Zone Number Locate your zone number on the above map. If your
number
is different than the one shown when you turn
the key on,
follow the steps to change your zone
number.
If you live on the line, you can pick the zone area you
are most likely to drive
in. (In Alaska, use Zone 9 or IO.
In Hawaii, use Zone 7.)
Changing Your Zone Number
1. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.
2. Press SELECT to display RESET
3. Press RESET until your number appears.
4. Press MODE to exit the COMPASS CALIBRATION
MODE and store the new zone number. When the
MODE button is pressed, the DIC will return to
the VEHICLE DATA mode. CHANGES ZONE.
3-69

Calibrating the Compass
All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic
profile of your vehicle. This is called calibration and
is done automatically by your compass. However, if you
would like
to manually calibrate the compass, the
following instructions will show you how.
Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the
compass.
If the compass display does not show a
direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on
the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows:
1. Drive the vehicle to an open, flat area.
2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.
3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO
RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET
button.
4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN
SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small
circles. Don’t drive faster than
10 mph (1 6 km/h).
5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION
COMPLETE message is displayed on the DIC and
a direction is shown for the compass.
Compass Accuracy
Your compass may show different headings around
bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills.
This is normal and
is true of compasses in general.
If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk
they could affect accuracy.
If the affect is minimal,
the compass will adapt to these objects over time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to
mount it away from the center of the trunk near the
rear window.
The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the
compass corrects for the rear defog. However,
if the rear
defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off
again, the accuracy returns
to normal.
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in
the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not
know they are there. As an example, many concrete
roads have metal reinforcements inside.
Also,
if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this
when a direction
is shown and the CALIBRATE
COMPASS message is no longer displayed.

Audio System(s)
Notice: Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle
- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to
do
it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine,
Delphi Electronics radio or other systems, and
even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed
to operate easily
and
to give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it
if you acquaint yourself with
it first. Find out what your audio system can do and
how to operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting
