Your vehicle may have this feature.
The overhead console includes reading lamps, a compartment for a garage door
opener, a trip computer, a temperature and compass display, and a storage compartment
for sunglasses.
The reading lamps, trip computer, temperature and compass display will work
when the ignition is in RUN, ACCESSORY or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is
active. See "Retained Accessory Power" under
Ignition Positions
.
Reading Lamps
Your vehicle may have this feature.
Press the button near each lamp to turn the reading lamps on and off.
The lamps can also be swiveled to point in the direction you want.
Installing a Garage Door Opener
If you have a garage door opener, the front overhead compartment can be used
to conveniently store the opener.
- To install the garage door opener, first open the compartment door by
pressing the latch forward.
- Peel the protective backing from the hook
and loop patch.
- Press it firmly to the back of your garage door opener, as close to the
center of the opener as possible.
- Center the garage door opener activation button over the console door
button and press the opener firmly into place.
The pegs inside the compartment door are used to make sure the button on the
compartment door will contact the control button on the garage door opener.
- Add one peg at a time until the garage door opener operates with the compartment
door closed when you press the button. Adjust the position of the garage door opener
and add or remove pegs as needed, until the opener operates properly.
- Now, with the compartment door closed, press the button again to make sure
the garage door opener operates properly.
With the garage door opener positioned properly and the right number of pegs
in place, you can press the button to operate the opener.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a HomeLink® Transmitter. For more information,

Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature compass direction and trip
information in the overhead console
US/MET (United States/Metric): The US/MET button allows you
to switch the display between the English and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle between three modes
of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP and TRIP.
COMP/TEMP (Compass/Temperature): This display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass readings 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. This is 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 US/MET and MODE
button simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the comjpass
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 false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set the variance for your
particular location:
- Find your location on the zone map. Record your zone number.
- Press and hold both the US/MET and the MODE buttons
while in the COMP/TEMP mode.
- After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge the variation mode by
displaying the current zone number. When it does, release both buttons.
- Press US/MET until your zone number appears on the display.
- Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your variance is now set and the
display will return to the COMP/TEMP mode.
Trip: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE button will take
you through the following TRIP functions:
AVG ECON (Average Economy): This display shows the average fuel
economy since the last reset is displayed.
INST ECON (Instantaneous Economy): Instantaneous fuel economy
for the last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: This display indicates the estimated distance that can
be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the
last few hours of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset is displayed.
AVG SPEED (Average Speed): The average speed since the last
reset.
To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and US/MET buttons simultaneously
for at least two seconds. All functions will be displayed briefly once the system
is reset. Reset can only be performed in the AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes.
All three modes are reset simultaneously.
Sunglasses Storage Compartment
The overhead console has a sunglasses storage compartment.
