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 (rear window defrost, heater, A/C, map lamps and wipers) and make sure all doors are shut.
  1. Press and hold the COMP button until C appears (six seconds). Release the COMP button.
