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, A/C, map lamps, wiper, etc.) and make sure all the doors are closed.

Start the vehicle.

2. Press and release the SELECT/RESET button until HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU is displayed.

3. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button until HOLD RESET FOR SYSTEM CHECK is displayed then immediately release the SELECT/RESET button.

4. Press and release the SELECT/RESET button until COMPASS ZONE XX is displayed.

5. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button for approximately 2 seconds to enter the compass zone setting mode.

6. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button until CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE is displayed.

7. NOTE: This step may require up to 5 circles to complete the calibration.

NOTE: If the RESET button is pressed during the calibration or 3 minutes has elapsed since the beginning of the calibration without driving the vehicle, the message center reverts back to normal operation and displays CAL until a successful calibration is carried out.

Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle less than 5 km/h (3 mph) until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETED.
