4. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less, in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is NOT enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is displayed. After driving 1 to 3 circles in the above method, calibration is complete with the direction shown on the display.

   NOTE:

   • Do NOT perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).
   • During calibration, do NOT operate electric systems (retractable hardtop, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
   • To cancel the calibration before it is complete, push the "ODO/TRIP" button.
