Calibrate The Compass Manually As Follows:
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Start the engine but leave the vehicle in "PARK".
- Using the U-Connect Touch ™ screen, select SETTINGS either from the hard controls on the sides of the screen, or from the menu selections at the bottom of the screen, depending on model.
- Scroll through the menu, and select CALIBRATE COMPASS .
- Select ON , the "CAL" symbol will come on solid in the EVIC display next to the compass direction that is displayed.
- Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines, through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8 km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass calibration.
- Confirm that the correct direction is now indicated by the compass.
- Press the BACK button to return to the main menu.
NOTE:
If the compass display indicates an inaccurate compass heading or the display is locked up, the RCM (if equipped) may be inoperative and require replacement.
NOTE:
If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE:
If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in another location.
