always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper

blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE

The appearance of your vehicle’s overhead console will vary according to

your option package.

Storage compartment

Press on the rear edge of the

compartment door to open.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED)

The compass heading is displayed in the center integrated display (CID).

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large

buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic

or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect

compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will

correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal

conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual

calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration

adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that

varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four

degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the

vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this

error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

INSTRUMENT PANEL STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The storage compartment may be

used to secure sunglasses or similar

sized objects. Press the button to

open the storage compartment.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12V DC)

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert

any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the

outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or

accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power

outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:

• On the instrument panel

• In the center console utility compartment

Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if

equipped).

Note: Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter

socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter can cause damage not

covered by your warranty, and can result in fire or serious injury.

To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s) over

the vehicle capacity of 12V DC/180W. If the power point is not working, a

fuse may have blown. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside

Emergencies chapter for information on checking and replacing fuses.

To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to

be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent

the battery from being discharged:

• do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is

not running,

• do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and

other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for

extended periods.

Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
