Compass calibration adjustment
Perform the following steps on an open area free from steel structures
and high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater / air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all
vehicle doors are shut.
1. Turn ignition to the ON position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Press the INFO button repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer
are displayed. (Do not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message
center must be blank).
Note: If message center displays the message
ЉSLOW CIRCLES TO
CALIBRATE
Љ, then continue with Step 4. Otherwise, if a heading is
displayed, continue with Step 5.
4. Drive the vehicle in circles up to
three times until the message
ЉCALIBRATION COMPLETEDЉ
appears and one of the 8 valid
headings (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W,
NW) is displayed.
5. Verify that the calibration process has taken place by driving the
vehicle in at least one circle, confirming that the heading changes
accordingly. If this happens, the compass has been calibrated
successfully. Otherwise, if the display shows only one heading as the
vehicle is being driven around, repeat the procedure from Step 3.
