Default Overhead console functions?

Hey guys, my recently acquired '96 limited has the overhead console but only gives info on direction & temp. If I press the button for "Comp" I get nothing at all.
What info should it give & where should I look as to why it's not functioning?

My '94 Sport never had this luxury

If its like my 98 update model, it should give you compass/temp, current L/100Km + average L/100Km, distance and time since last reset (hold both function and units buttons).

Thanks Darkside.
If I press & hold both function & units buttons "var" is displayed & then pressing the units button displays "1", then press again displays "2", then "3", and so on. Pressing the function key again returns to compass/temp but still nothing displayed on "Comp".

Comp means compass, the pre-update overhead consoles gives direction and temperature only in both metric and imperial units selectable by one button, from memory the other button turns this display on/off.....

Damn!
If that's all it's meant to do, it's working fine
You'd think they could've at least included a clock.
