The compass display is on with the key in the ON or START positions. When the key is first turned to the ON or START position, there is a momentary delay of approximately 6 seconds before the compass display illuminates. If the battery saver has been activated and the key is turned to ON or START, the momentary delay before the compass display illuminates is approximately 3 seconds. The compass display turns off as soon as the key is turned to the OFF or ACC position.
