Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to RESET FOR ZONE SETTING /
PRESS RESET FOR CALIBRATION following.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to RESET FOR ZONE SETTING / PRESS RESET FOR
CALIBRATION following.
RESET FOR ZONE SETTING
1. Determine your magnetic zone by
referring to the zone map.
2. Start the engine.
3. Press the SETUP button to select
RESET FOR ZONE SETTING.
4. Press the RESET button until the
message center display changes to
show the current zone setting (XX).
5. Press the RESET button
repeatedly until the correct zone
setting for your geographic location is displayed on the message center.
The range of zone values are from 01 to 15 and “wraps” back to 01.
6. Wait four seconds when correct zone is chosen.
PRESS RESET FOR CALIBRATION
Perform compass calibration in an open area free from steel structures
and high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all
vehicle doors are shut.
1. Press the SETUP button to select PRESS RESET FOR CALIBRATION.
2. Press RESET to calibrate.
3. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until
the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION
COMPLETED. It will take up to five circles to complete calibration.
