Temperature
and
Compass
Display
The outside air temperature
and
the
compass are displayed at the
front of the
overhead
console. The control
switches
are located
to the left
of the
display.
Turn
the
display
on
or
off
by
pressing
the
ON/OFF
switch.
Display
the
temperature
in
either
degrees
Fahrenheit
(English) or Celsius
(metric) by pressing
the
USIMET
switch.
If
the
outside
temperature
is
37"
F
(3"
C)
or lower
when you
turn
on
the ignition,
ICE
will
appear
briefly
on
the
display.
It's there to
caution
the
driver
that
road
conditions may be
icy
and
that
appropriate
precautions
should
be
taken.
Compass
Calibration:
The compass
is
self-calibrating,
so
it
does
not
need
to
be manually set.
However,
when
your
Silhouette
is
new,
the
compass may function
erratically.
If
it does,
CAL
(Calibration)
will
appear
on
the
display. To correct
the
problem,
drive in a complete
360"
circle three
times,
and
the
compass
willfunction
normally.
Compass
Variance:
Variance
is
the
difference
between
magnetic
north
and
geographic
north.
In
some areas
the
difference
between
the
two
can
be
great
enough
to
cause
false
compass
readings.
If
this
happens,
follow
these
instructions
to
set
the
variance
for
your
particular
location:
1.
Locate
your
location
on
the
zone
map.
Note
your
zone
number.
