Compass Calibration Procedure





1. Cycle the ignition switch to the "IG-ON" position and hold the "AUTO" switch for 6 seconds until the zone number appears on the display.





2. Push the "AUTO" switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located. See the map for zone reference.





3. Start the engine and push the "AUTO" switch for 9 seconds until "C" appears on the 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.
