Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass on your vehicle is self-calibrating, eliminat-
ing the need to manually calibrate the compass. When
the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and
the CAL indicator message will flash in the EVIC until
the calibration is complete.
A good calibration requires a level surface and an envi-
ronment free from large metallic objects such as build-
ings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
Calibrate the compass by driving slowly, under 5 mph
(8 km/h) in one or more complete circles in an area free
from large metallic objects, until the CAL indicator in the
EVIC 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.
•
Keep all magnetic objects, such as laptop computers,
iPod’s, cell phones and PDA’s (anything with a bat-
tery) away from the compass sensor which is located
in the top of the instrument panel. These devices can
interfere with compass accuracy and performance.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears to be inaccurate, you may wish to
manually calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrating the
compass, make sure the proper Compass Variance Value
is selected. (Refer to “Compass Variance” for additional
information). Then, continue to calibrate the compass as
follows:
1. Start the engine and leave the shift lever in the PARK
position.
2. Press and release the EVIC button several times until
the EVIC displays the Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features) menu.
