Compass/Temperature Module (CTM): Description
The overhead console houses the Compass/Temperature Module display and two reading and courtesy lamps. This display provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing. The ambient temperature sensor (ATS) monitors outside temperature and is hardwired to the Compass/Temperature Module.
There is a STEP button for the compass/temperature display located forward of the power sunroof switch (if equipped), between the lamps.
