Driver Controls 1. Start the vehicle. 2. Locate the reset button on the compass sensor mounted on the base of mirror. 3. To calibrate, press and hold the reset button on the compass module for approximately eight seconds and release. 4. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the CIRCLE SLOW TO CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETED. It will take up to five circles to complete calibration. 5. The compass is now calibrated. System warnings System warnings alert you to possible problems or malfunctions in your vehicle's operating systems. In the event of a multiple warning situation, the message center will cycle the display to show all warnings by displaying each one for 4 seconds. The message center will display the last selected feature if there are no more warning messages. This allows you to use the full functionality of the message center after you acknowledge the warning by pressing the RESET control and clearing the warning message. Warning messages are divided into four categories: • They cannot be cleared until the condition is corrected. • They will reappear on the display ten minutes from the reset if the condition has not been corrected. • They will not reappear until an ignition OFF-ON cycle has been completed. • They reappear if the condition clears then reoccurs within the same ignition ON-OFF cycle. This acts as a reminder that these warning conditions still exist within the vehicle. 127
