Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Do the following to set the proper zone:

Compass zone/calibration adjustment

1. Determine your magnetic zone by
referring to the zone map.

2. Turn ignition to the on position.

3. Start the engine.

4. Press INFO repeatedly until only
the compass and odometer are
displayed–the top of the message
center must be blank.

Note: If the compass displays CAL
000000.0 mi instead of heading
information, the compass will need to be calibrated. Slowly drive the
vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the CAL indicator
changes to display compass heading. This may take up to three circles to
complete calibration.

5. Press and hold the RESET button until the message center display
prompts you to reset the current zone setting. Press RESET.

6. Press SETUP repeatedly to choose the correct zone setting for your
geographic location. To exit the zone setting mode press and release the
RESET control.

7. The message center will prompt you to press RESET to calibrate or
press INFO to exit. Press RESET to start the compass calibration
function.

8. Slowly drive the vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until
the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION
COMPLETED. It could take up to five circles to complete calibration.

9. The compass is now calibrated.
