Compass / Temperature Display

The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is

facing. The EVIC will display eight or fifteen 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 until it 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). 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.
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. Push and release the UP or DOWN button until the

System Setup (Customer-Programmable Features)

menu is reached, then push and release the SELECT

button.

3. Push and releasethe DOWN button until “Calibrate

Compass” is displayed in the EVIC then push and

release the SELECT button.
