Compass Calibration Procedure





1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and check that the direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) appears on the compass display.

NOTE:
Pushing the "AUTO" switch turns the compass display ON or OFF.





2. Push the "AUTO" switch for approximately 6 seconds until the zone number (1 - 15) appears on the display. Then push the switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.





See the map for zone reference.

3. Check that the direction appears several seconds after adjustment.





4. Start the engine and push the switch for about 12 seconds until "CAL" appears on the display.





5. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less, in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is NOT enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is displayed.

Calibration is complete when the direction appears on the display.

NOTE:
^ Do NOT calibrate the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.)

^ During calibration, do NOT operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
