Compass Calibration

COMPASS CALIBRATION

1. NOTE: For optimum calibration, drive to an open, level location away from large metallic objects or structures. Switch off all non-essential electrical accessories (heated rear window, heater fan, A/C, map lamps, and wipers) and make sure all doors are closed.

Start the vehicle.







2. NOTE: To exit CAL mode before carrying out a compass adjustment, turn the key to the OFF position.

Press and hold (for approximately 6 seconds) the button until C or CAL appears in the display, then release the button.

3. NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle no more than 5 times, repeat the procedure.

Drive the vehicle slowly at less than 5 km/h (3 mph) in a continuous circle until the C or CAL disappears from the display and the compass heading is shown.

4. If the C or CAL message does not turn off within 5 circles (and the procedure has been repeated at least once), install a new interior rear view mirror with electronic compass.
