Compass
There is a compass display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
The compass receives its heading
and other information from the
Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak, and vehicle
speed information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for
long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
See
Backglass Antenna on
page 7 ‑ 25 and Satellite Radio
Antenna on page 7 ‑ 25 for the
location of the vehicle's antennas.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine
when the GPS signal is restored
and provide a heading again.
See
Compass Messages on
page 5 ‑ 30 for more information
on the messages that may be
displayed for the compass.
Clock
The infotainment system controls
are used to access the time and
date settings through the menu
system. See
