UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 97 Trip Odometer (ODO) This display shows the distance traveled since the last reset. Elapsed Time (ET) This display shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last reset. Compass Temperature Display This display provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing. Compass Calibration The Automatic Compass Calibration feature eliminates the need for the operator intervention under normal conditions. If the CAL indicator is lit, the compass needs to be calibrated. A good calibration requires a level surface and an environment free of large metal objects such as large buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc. Automatic Compass Calibration The self-calibrating feature of the compass eliminates the need to calibrate the compass for normal conditions. During a short initial period, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL symbol will appear on the display. After the vehicle has completed at least one complete circle in an area free from large metal objects, calibration will be complete when the CAL symbol is extinguished. After initial calibration, the compass will continue to automatically update this calibration whenever the vehicle is in motion. 4 WARNING! Even if the display still reads a few degrees above 32°F ( 0°C), the road surface may be icy, particularly in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such conditions to prevent an accident and possible personal injury or property damage.
