Pontiac 2005 Grand Prix - Manual (Page 164)

The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. However, under
certain circumstances, such as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to compensate for
compass variance and reset the zone through the
DIC. See “Setting the Compass” later in this section for
more information.
The buttons on the DIC trip computer are gages, trip
odometer, set/reset, options, and fuel.
