Compass Operation

Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on
or off.

There is a compass display in the window in the upper
right corner of the mirror face. The compass displays
a maximum of two characters. For example, “NE”
is displayed for north-east.

Compass Calibration

Press and hold the on/off button down for nine seconds
to activate the compass calibration mode. CAL will
be displayed in the compass window on the mirror.

The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display
reads a direction.

Compass Variance

Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. The mirror is
set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. It will be
necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, such as during a
long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to
adjust for compass variance. If not adjusted to
account for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.

To adjust for compass variance, do the following:

1. Find your current location and variance zone

number on the map.

2. Press and hold the on/off button for six seconds.

Release the button when ZONE is displayed. The
number shown is the current zone number.

3. Scroll through the zone numbers that appear in the

compass/temperature window on the mirror by
pressing the on/off button. Once you find your
zone number, release the button. After about
four seconds, the mirror will return to the compass
display, and the new zone number will be set.
