Ram 1500/2500/3500: Soft-Keys - Engine Off Options

• Easy Exit Seats

When this feature is selected, the Driver's seat will automatically move rearward once the engine is shut off.

To make your selection, touch the Easy Exit Seats soft-key, until a check-mark appears next to setting, showing that setting has been selected. Touch the back arrow soft-key to return to the previous menu.

• Engine Off Power Delay

When this feature is selected, the power window switches, radio, Uconnect phone system (if equipped), DVD video system (if equipped), power sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is cycled to OFF.

Compass Settings - If Equipped

After pressing the "Compass Settings" soft-key the following settings will be available:

• Variance

Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic North and Geographic North. To compensate for the differences the variance should be set for the zone where the vehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly set, the compass will automatically compensate for the differences, and provide the most accurate compass heading.

NOTE: Keep magnetic materials, such as iPod's, Mobile Phones, Laptops and Radar Detectors, away from the top of the instrument panel where the compass module is located. These materials can cause interference with the compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

Perform Compass Calibration

Touch the "Calibration" soft-key to change this setting.

This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will display CAL until the compass is calibrated. You may also calibrate the compass by pressing the "ON" soft-key and completing one or more 360-degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL indicator displayed in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.
