Compass Calibration Service

Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal objects such as other vehicles, large buildings or bridges. Remove all magnetic devices from roof panel. This compass is equipped with an auto-calibration feature which eliminates the need to manually set compass calibration. For a short time when the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL symbol will be lit. After completing 3 complete 360 degree turns at 5 mph, in an area free of metal objects and on level ground, the CAL symbol will turn off and the compass will perform normally.

If at any time the compass should become inaccurate it can be put in auto-calibration mode by using the following procedure.

1. Turn key to the ON position.
2. Press C/T button to select the Compass/Temperature display.
3. Press and hold RESET button for 5 seconds. The VAR symbol will light. While continuing to hold the RESET button for about 10 seconds, the CAL symbol will light.
4. Drive the vehicle through 3 complete 360 degree turns, in an area free of metal objects and in no less than 48 seconds, the compass will be calibrated.
5. The OTIS will extinguish the CAL label.
6. Reset compass variance. The calibration procedure automatically sets the variance to 8. If you are in an area with a variance number other than 8 you must reset the variance.
