Driver Information System (If Equipped)
This system displays the outside air temperature, compass
direction and trip information in the overhead console.
US/MET: The US/MET (United States/metric) button
allows you to switch the display between the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle, the
temperature indicated will be the last outside temperature
recorded with the ignition on. If the outside temperature is
37 F (3 C) or lower, the display will toggle between the
word ICE and the current temperature every eight seconds.
This is a warning to the driver that road conditions may be
icy, and that appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self
-calibrating, so it does not need to be
manually set. However, if “C” (Calibration) is displayed,
the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also place
the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and
holding the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously
while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about 10 seconds,
the compass will display C and you can release the
buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete 360 circle
three times at a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and
the compass will function normally. Once the calibration is
complete, the display will return to a compass reading.
Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
