Initial Calibration Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "IG-ON" position and check that the direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) appears on the compass display.
2. Push and hold the "ODO/TRIP" and "RESET" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the zone number (1-15) appears on the compass display. Then push the "RESET" button to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.
See the map in figure 4 for zone reference.
3. Start the engine and push the "ODO/TRIP" button until "- -" blinks on the compass display.
4. 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.
Once the direction is displayed the calibration is complete.
^ Do NOT perform calibration of 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 (retractable hardtop, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
^ To cancel the calibration before it is complete, push the "ODO/TRIP" button.
