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 (heated rear window, heater A/C, map lamps, wipers, etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.
  1. Start the vehicle.
  2. NOTE: To exit CAL mode before carrying out a compass adjustment, turn the key to the OFF position.
  3. Locate the electronic compass/temperature display on the overhead console, press and hold the SELECT button until CAL appears in the display, then release the SELECT button.
  4. NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle no more than 5 times, demagnetize the vehicle and repeat the procedure.
  5. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) in complete circles until CAL disappears from the display.
