Manual Compass Calibration If the compass appears erratic and the calibration symbol does not appear, you must manually put the compass into the calibration mode. Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the compass/temperature mode. Press both the E/M and MODE buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until the calibration symbol appears. Release both buttons and complete three 360_ turns in an area free from large metal objects. The calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading will be displayed. Error Displays Trip Computer There are five trip computer displays which may be stepped through by pushing the MODE button. The information will appear in the following order: D AVG ECON (Average Fuel Economy): This shows the average fuel economy since the last reset. D INST ECON (Instantaneous Fuel Economy): This shows fuel economy for the most recent second of driving. D RANGE (Trip Range): This shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel. The fuel economy used to calculate range is based on the last few hours of driving. D FUEL USED (Trip Fuel Used): This shows the accumulated fuel used since the last reset. D AVG SPEED (Average Speed): This shows the average speed since the last reset. D An error of the vehicle's speed sensor or fuel sender will cause -E- to be displayed. D In the absence of vehicle communications, a double dash "--" is displayed. If one of these error messages appear, see your dealer. Resetting the Trip Computer Press and hold the MODE and E/M buttons for at least two seconds. The reset is acknowledged with the display showing all segments on briefly. A reset can only be done in AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED displays. AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED can be reset independently. Only the mode that is displayed will be reset. 2-103
