Compass Calibration





1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and check that the direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) appears on the compass display.

NOTE:
Pushing the comp switch turns the compass display "ON" or "OFF."





2. Push the mode switch for longer than 3 seconds until the zone number (1-15) appears on the display. Then push the switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.

See the map below for zone reference.





3. Check that the direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) or "C" appears several seconds after adjustment.





4. Start the engine and push the switch for 6 seconds until "C" appears on the display.





5. Drive the vehicle at 5 mph, 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.





After performing the above steps, calibration is complete.

NOTE:

^ Do not perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (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.
