Compass 4WD L4-2.4L VIN W (2007)
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) uses both non-switched and ignition switched sources of battery current so that some of its features
remain operational at any time, while others may only operate with the ignition switch in the On position. When the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, the EVIC display (32) will return to the last function being displayed before the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The EVIC system is comprised of several different components that communicate over the Controller Area Network (CAN) and Local Interface Network
(LIN) Data Buses. If the system is inoperative a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information must be used to diagnose the system and related
data buses.
The instrument cluster STEP button (33) is used to operate the different functions of the EVIC system. Pressing and releasing the STEP button will
scroll through the following displays:
-
Compass/Temperature/Audio
-
Average Fuel Economy
-
Distance to Empty
-
Elapsed Time
-
Personal Settings
Once a particular system is displayed, short and long presses of the STEP button will move the EVIC through the system menu. Pressing and holding the
STEP button once will clear the resettable function currently being displayed. Reset will only occur if a resettable function is currently being displayed.
To reset all resettable functions, press and release the STEP button a second time within 3 seconds of resetting the currently displayed function (Reset
ALL will be displayed during this 3 second window).
