Compass: Adjustments
Compass Calibration
Compass Calibration
NOTE: This procedure is applicable only to vehicles not equipped with navigation.
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 fan, A/C, map lamps, and wipers) and make sure all doors are closed.
Start the vehicle.
2. NOTE: It is not possible to exit the CAL mode unless the vehicle is driven in circles.
NOTE: While holding the MODE button down, the compass display will first enter the ZONE setting mode (after 5 seconds) and then after
another 5 seconds (10 seconds total), the compass display will enter the CAL mode.
Press and hold (for approximately 10 seconds) the MODE button until CAL appears in the display, then release the MODE button.
3. NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle at least 5 times, repeat the procedure.
Drive the vehicle slowly at less than 5 km/h (3 mph) in a continuous circle until CAL disappears from the display and the compass heading is
shown.
4. If the CAL message does not turn off within 5 circles (and the procedure has been repeated at least once), install a new compass module (integral
to the interior rear view mirror).
