Fuel gauge

Displays approximately how much
fuel is in the fuel tank. The fuel
gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or on a grade.

When refueling the vehicle from
empty indication, the amount of fuel
that can be added will be less than
the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.

The FUEL DOOR icon and arrow
indicates which side of the vehicle
the fuel filler door is located.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS/TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)

OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE

The outside temperature display is
contained in the instrument cluster
and displays all the time.

To turn the display off or change
the display from English to metric
see your dealer.

Compass

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas.
Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also
affect compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration
adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.
