If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change
after making turns, there may be a
strong magnetic field interfering with
the compass. Such interference
may be caused by a magnetic CB or
cell phone antenna mount, a
magnetic emergency light, magnetic
note pad holder, or any other
magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn
on the vehicle and calibrate the
compass.To calibrate the compass, use the
following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
make sure the compass is set to
the variance zone in which the
vehicle is located. See
“Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this
section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof,
climate controls, seats, etc.
during the calibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information button until PRESS
VTO
CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays. 3. Press the set/reset button to
start the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING COMPASS :
TURN IN CIRCLES. Drive the
vehicle in tight circles at less
than 5 mph (8 km/h) to complete
the calibration. The DIC will
display COMPASS
CALIBRATION COMPLETE
for a few seconds when the
calibration is complete. The DIC
display will then return to the
previous menu.

Speedometer
The speedometer shows the
vehicle's speed in both kilometers
per hour (km/h) and miles per
hour (mph).
Odometer
The odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven, in either
kilometers or miles.
This vehicle has a tamper-resistant
odometer. If the vehicle needs a
new odometer installed, the new
one is set to the mileage of the old
odometer. If this is not possible, it is
set at zero and a label is put on the

Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3(Trip/Fuel):Press this button
to scroll through the following menu
items:
Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until
ODOMETER displays. This display
shows the distance the vehicle has
been driven in either miles (mi) or
kilometers (km). Pressing the trip
odometer reset stem will also
display the odometer.
To switch between English and
metric measurements, see “Units”
later in this section.
Trip Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until
TRIP A or TRIP B displays. This
display shows the current distance
traveled in either miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) since the last reset
for the trip odometer. Pressing the
trip odometer reset stem will also
display the trip odometer. Each trip odometer can be reset to
zero separately by pressing the set/
reset button while the trip odometer
is displayed. You can also reset the
trip odometer while it is displayed by
pressing and holding the trip
odometer reset stem.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL
RANGE displays. This display
shows the approximate number
of remaining miles (mi) or
kilometers (km) the vehicle can be
driven without refueling. The display
will show LOW if the fuel level
is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even thoughthe same amount of fuel is in the
fuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving. Fuel
range cannot be reset.
If the vehicle is low on fuel, the
FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be
displayed. See
“FUEL LEVEL LOW”
under Fuel System Messages
on
page 5‑34.
Average Fuel Economy
Press the trip/fuel button until
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY
displays. This display shows the
approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km) or
kilometers per liter (km/L). This
number is calculated based on the
number of mpg (L/100 km) (km/L)
recorded since the last time this
menu item was reset. To reset the
AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, press
and hold the set/reset button. The
display will show zero.

fuel used information, press and
hold the set/reset button while FUEL
USED is displayed.
Elapsed Time
Press the trip/fuel button until
ELAPSED TIME displays. This
display can be used as a timer.
To start the timer, press the set/

Instantaneous Fuel Economy
If the vehicle has this display, press
the trip/fuel button until INSTANT
FUEL ECONOMY displays. This
display shows the current fuel
economy at a particular moment
and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. This display
shows the instantaneous fuel
economy in miles per gallon (mpg)
