Buick 2005 Rendezvous - Manual (Page 200)

Driver Information Center (DIC)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center (DIC), the display is located on the instrument
panel cluster in the tachometer gage. The DIC will show
information about the vehicle and the surroundings.
The DIC is capable of displaying English or French. To
change the language, press and hold the MODE
button until the language you want is displayed. The
MODE button is located on the instrument panel, to the
left of the steering column. Release the button to set
your choice. See DIC Controls and Displays on
page 3-64 to change the display from English to metric.
The DIC contains a compass display to show you
which direction the vehicle is driving.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the
country, the difference is great enough to cause the
compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the
compass must be recalibrated.
Compass Calibration
If the calibration required symbol, or C, appears in the
compass, you must manually put the compass into the
calibration mode. To enter this mode, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on and press the MODE button
until CALIBRATE COMPASS displays.
2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than
three seconds.
