HONDA 2008 Pilot - Manual (Page 184)

The compass may need to be
manually calibrated after exposure to
a strong magnetic field. If the
compass seems to continually show
the wrong direction, do this.
Drive the vehicle slowly in circles
at less than 5 mph (8 km/h) until
the center icon turns blue. This
icon also turns blue by continuing
to drive the vehicle under normal
driving conditions. When you see
an actual heading on the compass,
calibration is completed.
In most areas, there is a variation
between magnetic north and true
north. Zone selection is required so
the compass can compensate for this
variation. To check and select the
zone, do this:
Find the zone for your area on the
zone map (see page
). Each
zone number (1 through 15)
corresponds to a compass zone on
the table (see page
).
Press and hold the compass
button for about 3 seconds. When
all of the direction icons begin to
blink, release the button.
The blue direction icon(s) blink
and show the current zone.
If the zone is incorrect, press and
release the compass button
repeatedly to get to the correct
number.
The compass will return to the
normal display about 4 seconds
after you stop adjusting a zone
number.
Do this procedure in an open
area, away from buildings, power
lines, and other vehicles.
With the blue center icon
displayed, press and hold the
compass button for about 6
seconds. When the center icon
turns red, release the button.
