COMPASS DISPLAY
The compass readings indicate the direction
the vehicle is facing. Press and release the
compass button to display one of eight com-
pass readings and the outside temperature.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display CAL until the compass is calibrated. You may
also calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects) until the CAL indicator displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL indicator
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Turn on the ignition switch.
2. Press the MENU button until Personal Settings (Cus-
tomer Programmable Features) menu is reached.
3. Press the STEP button until “Calibrate Compass” is
displayed in the EVIC.
4. Press and release the RESET button to start the cali-
bration. The “CAL” indicator will be displayed in the
EVIC.
5. Complete one or more 360° turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL indicator
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
