COMPASS CALIBRATION

Without Message Center

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 (rear window defrost, heater A/C, map lamps, wipers, heated windshield, etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.

Start the vehicle.

2. Locate the reset button on top of the compass sensor located behind the mirror.







3. Press and hold the reset button on the compass module for approximately 8 seconds and release.

4. NOTE:
- It will take up to 5 circles to complete the calibration.
- If not calibrated within 3 minutes or if the reset button is pressed during CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE, CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE changes to CAL and the calibration process must start over.

Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle at no more than 5 km/h (3 mph) until CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETE in the instrument cluster display.
