Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones
and the compass will need to be calibrated if the
vehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely
out of traffic and away from steel structures
and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
•
For best calibration results, switch off all
electrical equipment in the vehicle (climate
system, windshield wipers, audio system,
etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
•
Calibration may not succeed or be incor-
rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment is
not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir-
ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number of
the current magnetic zone is displayed.

Magnetic zones
4. Press the button on the underside of mirror
repeatedly until the desired magnetic zone
(
1–15 ) is displayed (see the map of mag-
netic zones).
5. Wait until C is again displayed in the mirror
or hold the button on the underside of mirror
for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in
the mirror.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more
than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis-
played. This indicates that calibration is com-
plete. Drive around in a circle an additional
two times to fine-tune the calibration.
7. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind-
shield:
*
if C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 6 with the
heating function on.
8. Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-
sary.
