Instrumentation Compass calibration adjustment Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and high voltage lines: For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut. 1. Start the vehicle. 2. Locate compass sensor mounted at base of mirror. 3. Insert a paperclip into the small hole on the bottom of the compass sensor or press the button on the top of the compass module until ZONE appears in the instrument cluster display. Continue to hold down until ZONE disappears and CAL is displayed (approximately eight seconds) and release. 4. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) in circles until CAL indicator turns off (4-5 complete circles). 5. The compass is now calibrated. MESSAGE CENTER (IF EQUIPPED) With the ignition in the ON position, the message center, located on your instrument cluster, displays important vehicle information through a constant monitor of vehicle systems. You may select display features on the message center for a display of status preceded by a brief indicator chime. The system will also notify you of potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings followed by a long indicator chime. 19
