Compass Calibration: Notes

The compass is self calibrating but under certain circumstances the compass may have to be calibrated especially if the vehicle is driven over long distances. If the compass heading is blank or the driver information center (DIC) shows CAL, the compass must be re-calibrated.

Depress the Menu button to get to the COMPASS ZONE item. Depress the Set/Reset button to scroll through the available compass zones. Depress the Menu button to get to the COMPASS CALIBRATION item. To calibrate the compass, depress the Set/Reset button until the CALIBRATION BEGUN DRIVE UNTIL DONE message appears DIC. Drive the vehicle through two circles less than 5 mph in a magnetically clean area. The calibration will be complete when the CALIBRATION FINISHED message is displayed in the DIC.
