The compass display is incorporated into the FDIM  . The compass signal originates from the compass module, which is integrated into the interior rear view mirror. Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

The vehicle heading is displayed as a 1 or 2 character display located in the lower LH side of the FDIM  and indicates the current direction of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW). The compass continuously re-calibrates due to changes in the magnetic field and remains accurate during most driving conditions.

The Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) buttons that allow the driver to operate (change) the calibration and zone setting procedures are located below the FDIM  .
