Electronic compass/temperature display (if equipped)

The overhead console may have an electronic compass and outside air
temperature display. The compass heading and outside air temperature
are displayed together - side by side. The display, as a whole, can be
turned on or off by pressing the momentary push-button on the
overhead console. When the vehicle is turned off, the electronics display
will remember the last display state.

Outside air temperature

The temperature can be displayed in
either Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
This is controlled via the Message
Center. Please refer to the Message
Center
in this chapter to change
from English to metric. The ignition
key must be in the ON or
ACCESSORY position.

If the outside temperature falls
below 3°C (38°F), the display will alternate from “ICE” to the outside
temperature at a two second rate for one minute.

Compass

The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW.

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in or on the vehicle may also affect compass
accuracy. Adjustments may need to be made to the zone and calibration
of the compass.
