Rear Park Assist Indicator

System Operation The system uses four sensors located in the rear bumper fascia to scan for obstacles up to 79 inches (200 cm) away from the rear bumper fascia. The warning display located above the rear window provides both visible and audible warnings to indicate the range of the object.

The warning display contains two sets of yellow and red LEDs, one set to warn of obstacles behind the left rear of the vehicle and the other set to warn of obstacles behind the right rear of the vehicle. The driver can view the LEDs either through the rear view mirror or by looking at the display above the rear window.

154 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

When the ignition is turned to the ON position, and the system is enabled, the warning display will turn ON all of its LEDs for approximately one second. Then, the system dimly illuminates the two outer most yellow LEDs when it is detecting no obstacles.

WARNING DISPLAY DISTANCES

The Rear Park Assist System is active when the ignition is in the ON position, and the system is enabled, and the driver shifts the transmission into the “R” (Reverse) position, and the vehicle speed is less than 11 mph (18
km/h). The following chart shows the warning display operation when the system is detecting an obstacle:

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED HomeLinkt replaces up to three remote controls (hand held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting, or home security systems. The HomeLinkt unit operates off your vehicle’s battery. NOTE: HomeLinkt is disabled when the Vehicle Secu- rity Alarm is active.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 155

WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri- ous injury or death.

Programming HomeLinkT

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage when programming. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program. Place the hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) away from the HomeLinkt button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the HomeLinkt indicator changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held transmitter buttons. Watch for the HomeLinkt indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train.

NOTE: † Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step #3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” sec- tion. † After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt and the ga- rage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.”

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157

4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLinkt button is pressed. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, and then turns to a constant light, continue with program- ming for Rolling Code. 5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button.

158 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open & close the door).

1 — Garage Door Opener 2 — Training Button

6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed. 7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for 2 sec- onds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for 2 seconds) to complete the training. If you are have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLinkt to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLinkt” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkt button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 159

has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained. If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLinkt.” earlier in this section. Using HomeLinkT To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLinkt button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc. The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.

Reprogramming a Single HomeLinkT Button To re-program a channel trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkt button until the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with PRO- GRAMMING HOMELINKt Step #2 and follow all re- maining steps. Security It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes. Note that all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED The load carried on the roof, when equipped with a luggage rack, must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and it should be uniformly distributed over the cargo area. The tie loops provided in the side rails can be used to help tie down cargo; however, crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is placed on the roof rack. Tie loops should not be used on their own to attach luggage to the roof rack. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached. NOTE: Crossbars are offered by Mopart accessories. External racks do not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.

CAUTION!

WARNING!

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 183

Cargo must be securely tied before driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in per- sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack Cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity. Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. Long loads, which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. Place a blanket or other protection between the surface of the roof and the load. Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe- cially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. (See page 359
for more information.)

2. Fuel Cap Indicator

This symbol indicates the side of the vehicle where the fuel cap is located.

3. Low Fuel Warning Light

This indicator lights when the fuel level drops to approximately 1/8 tank. (See page 359 for more information.)

4. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light — If Equipped

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Ac- cordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 191

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. (See page 346 for more information.)

significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

192 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result. (Refer to “Tire Inflation Pressures” under “Tires — General Information” and to “Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)” in Section 5 of this manual for more information).

5. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning Light — If Equipped

This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a problem is detected, the light will turn on while the engine is running. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, however see your authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, you may experience power loss, an elevated/rough idle, and increased brake pedal effort, and your vehicle may require towing. Immediate service is required. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is first turned ON, and remain on briefly as a bulb check. This is normal. If the light does not turn on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

6. Malfunction Indicator Light

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. The light will turn on when the key is in the ON position before engine start. If the light does not turn on when turning the key from LOCK or ACC to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may turn on the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and it will not require towing. If the Malfunction Indicator Light flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 193

converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. (See page 399 for more information.)

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

If the light stays on or turns on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s electrical devices, such as the Fog Lights or Rear Defroster. If the light remains on, it means that the charging system is experi- encing a problem. See your local authorized dealer to obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

13. Oil Pressure Warning Light

This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light will turn on and remain on when the ignition switch is turned from the LOCK or ACC position to the ON position. The light will turn off after the engine is started. If the light does not turn on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. If the light turns on and remains on while driving, safely bring the vehicle to a stop and shut off the engine. DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED. This light does not show the quantity of oil in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked using the proper procedure. (See page 403 for more information.) 14. Anti-Lock Brake Warning Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. This light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and it may stay on for approximately 3 seconds.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 195

If the light remains on or turns on during driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally, provided the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefit of Anti-Lock Brakes. The ABS Warning light should be checked frequently to assure that it is operating properly. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not start the vehicle. The light should turn on. If the light does not turn on, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. (See page 310 for more information.) 15. Tachometer This gauge measures engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000). Before the pointer reaches the red area, ease up on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.

In this mode, the front driveshaft and rear driveshaft are me- chanically locked together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. (See page 292 for more information.) 20. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) / Brake Assist System (BAS) Malfunction Indicator Light – If Equipped

The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” in the instrument

cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. It should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after the several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.(See page 314 for more information.) NOTE: The “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on mo- mentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. NOTE: Each time the ignition switch is turned ON, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned off previ- ously. NOTE: The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the

sound will stop when the ESP becomes inactive following a maneuver that caused the ESP activation. 21. SERV (Service) 4WD Indicator Light — If Equipped The “SERV 4WD Indicator Light” will turn on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and it will stay on for 2 seconds. If the light stays on or turns on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. 22. Coolant Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the air conditioner is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into “N” (Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immedi- ately and call for service. (See page 384 for more infor- mation.)

198 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

NOTE: As the coolant temperature gauge approaches 9H,9 this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass 9H.9 In this case, the indicator will flash continuously and a continuous chime will sound, until the engine is allowed to cool.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H,” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.

23. Coolant Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant tem- perature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a high temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the pointer rises to the “H” mark, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If

the air conditioner is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into “N” (Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the needle remains on the “H” mark, turn the engine off immediately and call for service. (See page 384 for more information.) NOTE: The gauge pointer will remain near its last reading when the engine is turned off. It will return to a true reading when the engine is restarted.

CAUTION!

Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the en- gine running, as you would not be able to react to the temperature indicator if the engine overheats.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 199

24. Transmission Temperature Warning Light — If Equipped

This light indicates that the transmission fluid temperature is running hot. This may occur with severe usage, such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, safely pull over and stop the vehicle.

The odometer must be in Trip Mode to reset the trip odom- eter. 26. 4WD Indicator Light — Vehicles Equipped with Selec-Tract II

This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is in the full-time four-wheel drive auto mode. In this mode, the system operates with a normal torque split of 42% front axle and 58% rear axle. It can redirect up to 100% of torque to the front or rear axle, if necessary.(See page 292 for more information.)

27. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. The trip odometer shows individual trip mileage. Refer to “Trip Odometer Button” for additional information. NOTE: U.S. federal regulations require upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify the mileage the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed because of repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. Vehicle Warning Messages When the appropriate conditions exist, messages such as “door” (for door ajar), “gATE” (for liftgate ajar), “gLASS” (for flip-up glass ajar), “gASCAP” (for fuel cap fault), or “CHANgE OIL” will display in the odometer.

If the instrument cluster is equipped with the NOTE: optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), then most warnings will display in the EVIC. (See page 206 for more information.) Fuel Cap Fault Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, the words “gASCAP” will display in the odometer. If this occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the odometer reset button to turn off the message. If the problem continues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. A loose, improperly installed, or damaged fuel filler cap may also turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). (See page 399 for more information.)

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 201

Change Oil Message (Base & Mid Line Clusters Only) Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “CHANgE OIL” message will flash in the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following proce- dure:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine).

202 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.

If the indicator message illuminates when you NOTE: start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure. 28. Cruise Indicator Light — If Equipped

29. Transmission Range Indicator This display indicator shows automatic transmission gear selection. (See page 281 for more information.) 30. Seat Belt Reminder Light

This light will turn on for several seconds after the ignition is turned ON as a reminder to “buckle

up.” This light will remain on as long as the seat belt remains unbuckled. (See page 48 for more information.) 31. Brake System Warning Light

This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the light turns on, it may indi- cate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system (if equipped). The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which can change fluid level con- ditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 203

In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the LOCK or ACC position to the ON position. The light should turn on for approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not turn on, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. (See page 310 for more information.) The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

204 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

32. Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light — If Equipped

This light will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds when the vehicle security system is arming and then flash slowly when the system is armed. The light will also turn on for about three seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. (See page 18 for more information.) 33. Airbag Warning Light

This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light does not turn on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. (See page 57 for more information.)

34. Vacuum Fluorescent Display (Mid Line & Premium Clusters Only) On vehicles equipped with a Premium Cluster, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages when the appropriate conditions exist. (See page 206 for more information.) On vehicles equipped with a Mid Line Cluster, this display shows the compass heading (N, S, E, W, NE, NW, SE, and SW) and the outside temperature. Setting Compass Variance (Mid Line Cluster Only) Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic North and Geographic North. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic North is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set using the following procedure:

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 205

NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top of the right rear quarter window. This is where the compass sensor is located. NOTE: The vehicle speed must be at 0 mph (0 km/h) (manual transmission) or the gear selector lever in “P” (Park) (auto transmission) to enter the variance setting mode. To set the variance, first, turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Next, press and hold the trip odometer button until the current variance zone number displays (approximately ten seconds). Then, press and release the button to increment the variance value by one, until the proper variance zone is selected according to the map. Finally, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position to exit this mode.

206 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

NOTE: The factory default zone is 8. During program- ming, the zone value will wrap around from zone 15 to zone 1. Calibrating the Compass (Mid Line Cluster Only) If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, or abnormal, you may wish to calibrate it. However, prior to calibrat- ing the compass, make sure the proper Compass Variance value is selected. NOTE: The vehicle speed must be at 0 mph (0 km/h) (manual transmission) or the gear selector lever in “P” (Park) (auto transmission) to enter the calibration mode. To calibrate the compass, first, start the engine. Next, press and hold the trip odometer button until the current variance zone number displays (approximately ten sec- onds). Then, press and hold the button again until the direction displays with the “CAL” indicator on continu- ously (approximately ten seconds). Finally, drive the

vehicle in one or more complete circles, at speeds under 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from power lines and large metallic objects, until the “CAL” indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.

Automatic Compass Calibration This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated. You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

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. Press the MENU button until the Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features) menu displays in the EVIC. 3. Press the SCROLL button until “Calibrate Compass” displays in the EVIC. 4. Press and release the FUNCTION SELECT button to start the calibration. The “CAL” indicator will display in the EVIC. 5. Complete one or more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.

Compass Variance Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic North and Geographic North. In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic North is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set using the following procedure: NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top of the right rear quarter window. This is where the compass sensor is located.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Broadcast Signals Your new radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op- eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals. Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals... AM (Ampli- tude Modulation), in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary... and FM (Frequency Modulation), in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS 221

Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs. FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: For vehicles not equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the radio and steering wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain active for

222 INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONTROLS

45 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with the EVIC, the radio and steering wheel radio controls (if equipped) will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. The time is program- mable. For details, refer to “Delay Power Off to Accesso- ries Until Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Vehicle In- formation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual.
