5-6 Instruments and Controls
Rear Window
Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper and rear wash button
is located on the instrument panel
below the climate control system.
Z (Rear Wiper): Press to turn the
rear wiper on and off. The wiper
speed cannot be changed.
Y (Wash): Press to spray
washer fluid on the rear window.
The window wiper will also come
on. Release the button when
enough fluid has been sprayed
on the window. The rear wiper
will run a few more cycles after
it is released. If the rear wiper
function was already on, prior
to pressing the wash button,
it stays on until the wiper button
is pressed again.
The rear window washer uses the
same fluid that is in the windshield
washer reservoir. See Washer Fluid

Compass
Your vehicle may have a compass
in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Driver Information
Center (DIC) (With DIC Buttons) on
page 525 or Driver Information
Center (DIC) (Without DIC Buttons)
on page 530 for more information
about the DIC.
Compass Zone
The zone is set to zone eight upon
leaving the factory. Your dealer
will set the correct zone for your
location.
Under certain circumstances,
such as during a long distance
cross-country trip or moving to
a new state or province, it will
be necessary to compensate for
compass variance by resetting the
zone through the DIC if the zone
is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference
between the earth's magnetic north
and true geographic north. If the
compass is not set to the zone
where you live, the compass may
give false readings. The compass
must be set to the variance zone
in which the vehicle is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use
the following procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure
