Compass Calibration Procedure





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

2. Push the "MODE" button several times to display the outside temperature on the outside temperature & cruise information display.





3. Simultaneously push and hold both the "E/M" and "MODE" buttons for 5 seconds until the "VAR" indicator appears on the compass display.

A zone number (1 - 15) will appear on the compass display.

4. Push the "E/M" button to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.





See the map below for zone reference.

5. Leave system alone for 10 seconds.

The display will return to compass/outside temperature mode. The number that was set last is saved in memory.





6. Start the engine and then push the "MODE" button several times until the outside temperature is displayed on the outside temperature & cruise information display.





7. Push and hold the "E/M" and "MODE" buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds until the "CAL" indicator appears on the compass display.

At this time, the compass display is locked in "N."





8. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less, in a circle until the "CAL" indication goes OFF and 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 (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.
