Compass Calibration

NOTE: For optimum calibration, drive to an open, level location away from large metallic objects or structures. Switch off all non-essential electrical accessories (heated rear window, heater fan, A/C, map lamps, wipers, etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.

Start the vehicle.

NOTE: While holding the SELECT button down, the compass display will first enter the ZONE setting mode (after 5 seconds) and then after another 5 seconds (10 seconds total), the compass display will enter the CAL mode.

Locate the electronic compass/temperature display on the overhead console, press and hold the SELECT button until CAL appears in the display, then release the SELECT button.

NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle at least 5 times, repeat the procedure.

NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle no more than 5 times (and the procedure has been repeated at least once), demagnetize the vehicle and repeat the procedure. For additional information, refer to Vehicle Demagnetizing .

Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) in complete circles until CAL disappears from the display.
If the CAL message does not turn off within 5 circles (and the procedure has been repeated at least once and the vehicle has been demagnetized), install a new overhead console. For additional information, refer to INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE article.
