1996 Oldsmobile Bravada Owner's Manual - Page 88

OFF: This turns the system off. COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside temperature and one of eight compassreadings to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing. Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle, the temperature indicated will be the last outside temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside temperature is 37°F (3 "C) or lower, the display will toggle between the word ICE and the current temperature every eight seconds. Thisis a warning to the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that appropriate precautions should be taken. The compass is self-calibrating, so it does not need to be manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also place the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and holding the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the compass will display C and you can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete 360" circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the display will return to a compass reading. Variance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas, the difference between the two can be great enough to cause falsecompass readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set the variance for your particular location: 1. Find your location on the zone map. Note your zone number. 2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET buttons in the COMP/TEMP mode.
