necessary until the desired variance is achieved.

NOTE:

The factory default zone is 8. During program-

ming, the zone value will wrap around from zone 15 to
zone 1.

Manual Compass Calibration

If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate or abnormal,
you may wish to calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrat-
ing the compass, make sure the proper zone is selected.

1. Start the engine and leave the transmission in the

PARK position.

2. Press and hold the RESET button (for approximately

10 seconds) until the current variance zone number is
displayed.

3. Release the RESET button, then press and hold again

for approximately 10 seconds, until the direction is
displayed, with the CAL indicator on continuously in
the display.

4. To complete the compass calibration, drive the vehicle

in one or more complete 360–degree circles, under
5 mph (8 km/h) in an area free from power lines and
large metallic objects, until the CAL indicator turns
off. The compass will now function normally.

NOTE:

• A good calibration requires a level surface and an

environment free from large metallic objects such as
buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad
tracks, etc.

• Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top

of the center of the instrument panel. This is where the
compass sensor is located.
