Light — If Equipped

This light indicates the Electronic Stability Con-
trol (ESC) is off.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC)

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver-interactive display that is located in the
instrument cluster.

NOTE:

The compass on your vehicle is self-calibrating,

eliminating the need to manually calibrate the compass.

This system conveniently allows the driver to select a
variety of useful information by pressing the switches
mounted on the steering wheel.
