Compass Calibration Procedure





1. Push the engine switch to select the "IG-ON" mode and hold the "AUTO" switch until the zone number appears on the display.

NOTE:
Pushing the "AUTO" switch for 3 seconds turns the compass display ON or OFF.





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





See the map below for zone reference.





3. Start the engine and push and hold the "AUTO" switch for about 12 seconds until "CAL" 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. Calibration is complete when the "CAL" disappears from the display.

NOTE:
^ Do NOT calibrate the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.)

^ During calibration, do NOT operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration
