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-

are not updated when the vehicle is not moving.

Automatic Compass Calibration

This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to calibrate the compass manually. When the ve-

one or more 360–degree turns (in an area free from large
metal or metallic objects) until the CAL indicator in the
EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

NOTE:

environment free from large metallic objects such as build-
ings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc.

Manual Compass Calibration

variance has been properly set, you may wish to manu-
