Compass Display

COMPASS Button

The compass heading indicates the direction
the vehicle is facing. Press and release the
compass button to display one of eight com-
pass headings, the outside temperature, and

audio information (if the radio is on) if the EVIC display
is not already displaying this screen.

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 calibrate the compass manually. When the ve-
hicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the
EVIC will flash the “CAL” indicator until the compass is
calibrated. You may 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 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
buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks,
etc.
