Driver Controls CENTER CONSOLE (IF EQUIPPED) The center console offers several useful storage features. These include: 1. Cupholders 2. Tissue holder in lid 3. Power point 4. Large utility compartment has coin holder slots and a cardholder located inside on the passenger side and a pen holder on the lid. WARNING: Use only soft cups in the cupholder. Hard objects can injure you in a collision. ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED) The compass heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW in the Center Integrated Display (CID). The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect compass accuracy. Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration adjustment. Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment. 68 2009 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide (own2002), 3rd Printing USA (fus)
