Compass/ Outside Temperature Display DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued) An opening door on the console provides storage space and can house a garage door opener. KZOIMA The compass system consists of an electronic compass transducer and the overhead console to display the direction. The digital compass will be displayed when the MODE button is pressed. The current vehicle heading will be displayed as one of the following directions: N. NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. Factors Affecting Accuracy Various internal and external conditions can affect compass accuracy. 0 Magnetic mount devices (antennas, racks, etc.) should not be located near the magnetic sensor. Use of these devices near the sensor will cause the compass to be inaccurate. If these devices must be used. the compass should be recalibrated using the zone and calibration adjustments. 0 Driving near power lines or objects with high iron or steel content (bridges, underground pipes and tunnels, etc.) may temporarily change the compass heading. The display will return to the true vehicle heading after the vehicle leaves the area. 0 in most locations, magnetic north differs from the true north" direction shown on maps (geographic north). This difference changes considerably across the country anywhere from 25 degrees to the east to 30 degrees to the west. This misalignment can be corrected on the compass by performing the Zone Adjustment procedure described in the Adjustments portion of this section. thermometer sensor (15A022) mounted behind front bumper/ grille.
