Push and release the up or down arrow button if there is

Compass/Temperature Display
The compass readings indicate the direction the vehicle is
facing. The instrument cluster display 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 temperature is
displayed. Engine temperature can also affect the dis-
played 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 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 instrument cluster 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 arrow button until the
System Setup (Customer-Programmable Features) menu
is reached, then push and release the right arrow button.
3. Push and release the down button until “Calibrate
Compass” is displayed in the instrument cluster display
then push and release the right button.
4. Push and release the right button to start the calibration.
The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in the instrument
cluster display.
5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free
from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”
indicator turns off. The compass will now function
normally.
