necessary until the desired variance is achieved.

The factory default zone is 8. During program-

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. Push and hold the RESET button (for approximately

10 seconds) until the current variance zone number is

displayed.

3. Release the RESET button, then push 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.
