    • Vehicle is parked on a level surface.
    • The switch of unnecessary accessories (A/C system, audio system and lighting system) is turned to "OFF".
    • All doors are closed.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Hold down the multi-function button (a) for six to nine seconds. Once calibration mode starts, "C" is displayed on the screen (b).
