Electrical Compass Zone Selection and Calibration

NOTE:

- You should do this procedure any time the electrical compass unit is replaced.
- You should do this procedure in an open area away from buildings, power lines, other vehicles, and any other sources of strong magnetic fields.
- If you see "--" and the CAL indicator is shown in the audio-HVAC display, the electrical compass unit is self-calibrating.
- The electrical compass unit may need to be manually calibrated after exposure to a strong magnetic field. If the electrical compass unit seems to be continually showing the wrong direction, and is not self-calibrating, do the following.

1. Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 5 (7.5 A) and the No. 18 (7.5 A) fuses in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then press and hold the MENU button (A) until it beeps (about 5 seconds).






3. Turn the selector knob (A) to select ZONE.










4. Press the selector knob (A) to enter your selection. The display shows the currently selected zone number.

NOTE: If necessary, press the RETURN button (B) to return to the previous display. Pressing the MENU button (C) cancels the electrical compass setting mode.










5. Find the zone for your area on the map. If the correct zone is not shown, turn the selector knob to cycle the zone list up or down.





6. Once the correct zone is displayed, press the selector knob. The display then returns to normal.

7. Turn the selector knob to select CALIBRATION.






8. Press the selector knob to enter your selection. The display shows PUSH CAL START.





9. Press the selector knob, the compass display will blink and the CAL indicator is shown.

10. Drive the vehicle slowly in three complete circles (20 seconds or more per a circle). When the calibration is successfully completed, the compass display stops blinking and the CAL. indicator goes off.

NOTE:

- While setting, pressing the RETURN button returns to the previous display. Pressing the MENU button cancels the compass setting mode.
- The audio system is not related to the electrical compass system. Even if the electrical compass system is calibrating, the display returns to the normal display which was last selected.
- If the calibration fails, try another location (an open area away from buildings, power lines, other vehicles, and any other sources of strong magnetic fields) and do the calibration procedure again.
