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.
