Acura 2012 MDX - Manual (Page 349)

Compass Operation
On models without navigation system
Compass operation can be affected
by driving near power lines or
stations, across bridges, through
tunnels, over railroad crossings, past
large vehicles, or driving near large
objects that can cause a magnetic
disturbance. It can also be affected
by accessories such as antennas and
roof racks that are mounted by
magnets.
Compass Calibration
If you see
‘‘－－’’ in the compass
display and ‘‘CAL’’ and ‘‘ ’’ are
shown in the calendar display, the
compass is self-calibrating.
The compass may need to be
manually calibrated after exposure to
a strong magnetic field. If the
compass seems to be continually
showing the wrong direction and is
not self-calibrating, do the following.
1. Press and hold the SET button for
five seconds until the clock display
changes to
‘‘ZON ? N.’’ (Clock
adjustment mode will be started
after the first two seconds.)
2. Press the SET button. ‘‘CAL ? N’’
will be displayed. At this point,
pressing the SET button will exit
calibration mode.
3. Press the ▼ button. ‘‘CAL ? Y’’ will
be displayed.
4. Press the SET button. The
compass display will change to
‘‘－－’’ and ‘‘CAL’’ and ‘‘ ’’ are
shown.
5. Drive the vehicle slowly in two
complete circles.
