The NVS

Compass Function
The Compass can be turned ON and OFF and will remember the last state when the
ignition is cycled. To turn the display feature ON/OFF:
1. Press and release the
button to turn the display feature OFF.
2. Press and release the
button again to turn the display back ON.
Additional options can be set with press and hold sequences of the
button and are
detailed below.
There is a difference between magnetic north and true north. The compass in the
mirror can compensate for this difference when it knows the Magnetic Zone in which it is
operating. This is set either by the dealer or by
the user. The operating Zone Numbers for North
America are shown in the figure to the right.
To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Number based
upon your current location on the Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the
button for more than 3
but less than 6 seconds, the current Zone
Number will appear on the display.
3. Pressing and holding the
button again will
cause the numbers to increment (Note: they
will repeat …13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …). Releasing
the button when the desired Zone Number
appears on the display will set the new Zone.
4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will
start displaying a compass heading again.
There are some conditions that can cause changes to the vehicle magnets. Items such
as installing a ski rack or a CB antenna or even some body repair work on the vehicle
can cause changes to the vehicle's magnetic field. In these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly correct for these changes. To re-calibrate the
compass:
1. Press and hold the
button for more than 6 seconds. When the compass memory
is cleared a “C” will appear in the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle is 2 complete circles at less than 5 MPH.
