Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    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, wipers, etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.
  1. Start the vehicle.
  2. Press the RESET button until RESET FOR CAL is displayed in the message center display.
  3. NOTE: This will take up to 3 circles to complete calibration
  4. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle at no more than 5 km/h (3 mph) until CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETE in the message center.
  5. The compass is now calibrated.
