Compass / Temperature Display

The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. The EVIC will display one of eight compass
readings and the outside temperature.

NOTE:

The system will display the last known outside

temperature when starting the vehicle and may need to
be driven several minutes before the updated tempera-
ture is displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the
displayed temperature; therefore, temperature readings
are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.

Automatic Compass Calibration

This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display CAL until the compass is calibrated. You may
also calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360–degree turns (in an area free from large metal or

metallic objects) until the CAL indicator displayed in the
EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

NOTE:

A good calibration requires a level surface and an

environment free from large metallic objects such as build-
ings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc.

Manual Compass Calibration

If the compass appears erratic and the CAL indicator
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually, as follows:

1. Turn ON the ignition switch.

2. Press the UP or DOWN button until the Setup

(Customer-Programmable Features) menu is reached,
then press the SELECT button.

3. Press the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass” is

displayed in the EVIC.
