Compass: Description and Operation

COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
The Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) system is located between the center A/C ducts. The CMTC is an electronic control module with a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) and two function switches. The CMTC is capable of displaying compass, temperature and trip computer information. Actuation of the STEP switch will cause the CMTC to change mode of operation while actuation of the US/M switch will toggle between English and Metric units. A reset of the trip computer is accomplished by pressing the STEP and US/M switches simultaneously.

The CMTC is active only when the ignition is on.
An "all segments" test can be performed by pressing both the "step" and "US/M" switches and then turning the ignition ON. The functions that are available via actuation of the STEP switch are as follows:
- Compass and ambient temperature
- Average Fuel Economy (AVE ECO)
- Distance To Empty (DTE)
- Present Fuel Economy (ECO)
- Trip odometer (ODO)
- Elapsed ignition time (ET)
- Blank screen (OFF)
