WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2003 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This mode displays an 8 point compass heading on the left and side of the DIC. The compass will display the current vehicle direction relative to one of 8 compass headings using N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W, and NW for the readout. The ambient temperature displays on the right hand side of the DIC. The temperature display is updated every 2 seconds and the temperature will not change from its initial temperature until the vehicle has been driven at 15 mph. If the ambient temperature is below 3°C (37°F), the temperature reading will toggle between displaying the outside temperature and the word ICE for two minutes. If the temperature is less than minus 40°F for more than 2 seconds, OC will display. If the temperature is above 140°F for more than 2 seconds, SC will be displayed. If OC or SC is displayed DTC's will be set. For compass calibration and compass magnetic variation adjustment refer to ELECTRONIC COMPASS CALIBRATION . The temperature display updates once every two seconds.
