Driver Controls CENTER CONSOLE (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with a variety of consoles features. These include: • Locking storage compartment with hanging file folder supports • Utility compartment with coin holder slots, cardholder and pen holder (on underside of lid). • Storage for laptop computer • One 12V power point inside the storage compartment and one on the rear of the console • 110V AC power point outlet on the rear of the console • Front and rear cupholders • Rear passenger air registers 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 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. 99 2011 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
