Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the "IG-ON" position and push and hold the "AUTO" switch on the mirror 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 in figure 4 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.
Once the direction is displayed, the calibration is complete.
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.
