Buick Enclave: Rear Window Wiper/Washer. Compass. Clock

Rear Window Wiper/Washer

The rear wiper and rear wash button is located on the instrument panel below the climate control system.

(Rear Wiper): Press to turn the rear wiper on and off. The wiper speed cannot be changed.

(Wash): Press to spray washer fluid on the rear window.

The window wiper will also come on. Release the button when enough fluid has been sprayed on the window. The rear wiper will run a few more cycles after it is released. If the rear wiper function was already on prior to pressing the wash button, it stays on until the wiper button is pressed again.

The rear window washer uses the same fluid that is in the windshield washer reservoir. See Washer Fluid .

Compass

Your vehicle may have a compass in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC)  for more information about the DIC.

Compass Zone

The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. Your dealer will set the correct zone for your location.

Under certain circumstances, such as during a long distance cross-country trip or moving to a new state or province, it will be necessary to compensate for compass variance by resetting the zone through the DIC if the zone is not set correctly.

Compass variance is the difference between the earth's magnetic north and true geographic north. If the compass is not set to the zone where you live, the compass may give false readings. The compass must be set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is traveling.

To adjust for compass variance, use the following procedure:

Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure

1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is moving.

Only set it when the vehicle is in P (Park).

Press the vehicle information button until PRESS V TO CHANGE COMPASS ZONE displays.

2. Find the vehicle's current location and variance zone number on the map.

Zones 1 through 15 are available.

3. Press the set/reset button to scroll through and select the appropriate variance zone.
4. Press the trip/fuel button until the vehicle heading, for example, N for North, is displayed in the DIC.
5. If calibration is necessary, calibrate the compass.

See “Compass Calibration Procedure” following.

Compass Calibration

The compass can be manually calibrated. Only calibrate the compass in a magnetically clean and safe location, such as an open parking lot, where driving the vehicle in circles is not a danger.

It is suggested to calibrate away from tall buildings, utility wires, manhole covers, or other industrial structures, if possible.

If CAL should ever appear in the DIC display, the compass should be calibrated.

If the DIC display does not show a heading, for example, N for North, or the heading does not change after making turns, there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic CB or cell phone antenna mount, a magnetic emergency light, magnetic note pad holder, or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle, move the magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle and calibrate the compass.

To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure:

Compass Calibration Procedure

1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the compass zone is set to the variance zone in which the vehicle is located.

See “Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure” earlier in this section.

Do not operate any switches such as window, sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc.

during the calibration procedure.

2. Press the vehicle information button until PRESS V TO CALIBRATE COMPASS displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to start the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at less than 8 km/h (5 mph) to complete the calibration. The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a few seconds when the calibration is complete. The DIC display will then return to the previous menu.

Clock

To adjust the time and date:

1. Turn the ignition key to ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN, then press to turn the radio on.
2. Press to display HR, MIN, MM, DD, YYYY (hour, minute, month, day, and year).
3. Press the pushbutton located under any one of the labels to be changed.
4. To increase the time or date, do one of the following:

5. To decrease the time or date, do one of the following:

To change the time default setting from 12 hour to 24 hour or to change the date default setting from month/day/year to day/month/year:

1. Press and then the pushbutton located under the forward arrow that displays on the radio screen until the time 12H (hour) and 24H (hour), and the date MM/DD (month and day) and DD/MM (day and month) display.
2. Press the pushbutton located under the desired option.
3. Press again to apply the selected default, or let the screen time out.
