FORD 2007 Freestar v.1 - Manual (Page 60)

Compass calibration mode
1. Press the momentary push button
and hold it for more than 8 seconds.
After 8 seconds, CAL is displayed,
then release it.
Note: After button release CAL will
be displayed with a heading. The
compass is now de-calibrated and
enters the Initial AutoCal Mode.
2. Drive the vehicle in a tight circle
in a magnetically clean area such as
an open parking lot. Drive at a rate not faster than 15 seconds per circle
5 mph (8km/h).
Note: Look for a parking lot away from buildings, light posts, manhole
covers, sewer and drainage grates and other metallic objects. Some
magnetic objects may be hidden underground. Look for signs of
underground utilities, water mains or other industrial structures. The
parking lot should be level and have a smooth surface. Blacktop is
preferred over cement as a cement surface often contains iron
reinforcing bars or metallic mesh that could interfere with the calibration
process.
• The CAL indicator will turn off when the calibration process is
complete, leaving the compass heading on the display.
Note: This process normally takes about 1 1 ⁄
2
circles but may take longer
if magnetic noise is present or if the circles are driven too fast.
SLIDING DOOR OPERATION
Manual door operation
If equipped with a Power Sliding Door (PSD), turn the Power Door
Lockout control on the overhead console to the OFF position. Refer to
the Disabling power operation of the PSD section in this chapter for
more information.
Note: Before unlatching the left side door, verify that the fuel fill door is
closed. The left hand door will not open if the fuel door is open.
Slide the door carefully in a controlled manner to the full open position.
At the end of travel, firmly push the door against the bump stop to
engage the hold open mechanism to restrain the door. When operating
the door on a gradient, special care should be taken to manually control
the opening and closing speed of the door.
