RESET FOR CALIBRATION
This feature calibrates the compass.
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy. 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 zone/calibration adjustment.
