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 Compass calibration
adjustment.
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 Compass zone adjustment.
Compass zone adjustment
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.
2. Locate the controls on the
overhead console.
3. Turn ignition to the ON position.
4. Press and hold both controls.
After approximately four seconds,
the compass will enter zone setting
mode. Zone setting mode is

ZONE indicator.

Subsequent pressing of either
control will increment the zone.
Press the control repeatedly until
the correct zone setting for your
geographic location is displayed on the trip computer.

release both controls for greater than five seconds.
