Compass Calibration Procedure





1. Turn the ignition switch to the ~ON" position and push and hold the switch for 6 seconds until the zone number appears on the compass display.





2. Push the switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.





See the map for zone reference.





3. Start the engine and push and hold the switch for about 9 seconds until "C" 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, turn the car around as shown, doing two three-point turns in succession.

After driving in 1 to 3 circles in the above method, calibration is complete with the direction shown on the display.

NOTE:

^ Do NOT perform calibration of 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.
