Compass Zone Adjustment




Compass Zone Adjustment

Compass Calibration Zone Map

NOTE: This procedure is only applicable to vehicles without navigation. For vehicles with navigation, there is no compass zone adjustment.





1. Refer to the compass calibration zone map to select the correct compass zone setting for the geographic location of the vehicle.

2. With the ignition in the ON position, press and hold the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) 7 and 9 buttons (for approximately 5 seconds) until the compass display shows the current zone setting (ZONE XX). Release the 7 and 9 buttons.

3. Before the zone setting mode turns off (within 5 seconds), momentarily press and release the 7 and 9 buttons to increase the zone increment by one. Set the zone display number to match the vehicle geographical location on the compass calibration zone map.

4. Release the 7 and 9 buttons for 5 seconds to exit the zone setting mode.
