Crown Victoria V8-4.6L SOHC VIN W (2005)
Compass: Description and Operation
ELECTRONIC COMPASS
The compass display and module are contained in the overhead console. The compass display can be turned off and on by pressing the MODE button in
the overhead console. The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW.
Compass Accuracy
Driving near power lines, or driving in the area of large iron or steel structures can temporarily change the compass heading. If the compass remains
inaccurate after driving near such objects, demagnetize the vehicle and recalibrate the compass.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between the adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates the error.
Refer to Compass Zone Adjustment. See: Adjustments/Electronic Compass/Compass Zone Adjustment
