Driver Information System

This system displays the outside air temperature, compass
direction and trip information in the overhead console.

US/MET: The US/MET (United States/metric) button
allows you to switch the display between the English
and metric system.

MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.

COMP/TEMP: This display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.

Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is 37

_F (3_C) or lower, the display

will toggle between the word “ICE” and the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.

The compass is self

-

calibrating, so it does not need

to be manually set. However, if “C” (Calibration) is
displayed, the compass will need to be calibrated. You
may also place the compass in a non

-

calibrated mode by

pressing and holding the MODE and US/MET buttons
simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After
about 10 seconds, the compass will display “C” and
you can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a
complete 360 degree circle three times at a speed of less
than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will function
normally. Once the calibration is complete, the display
will return to a compass reading.
