(Washer Fluid):
Push the
paddle marked with the windshield
washer symbol at the top of the turn
signal lever, to spray washer fluid

is reached. When the paddle is
released, additional wipes may
occur depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
activated. See
for information on filling
the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak
®
, and vehicle speed
information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a
GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See
for the
messages that may be displayed for
the compass.
