Calibrating digital compass
In the following situations, the digital
compass must be calibrated:
> C or CAL appears on the display
> The wrong cardinal direction appears
on the display
> The cardinal direction displayed does
not change despite a change in the
direction of travel
> Not all cardinal directions are dis-
played.
How to correct this:
1. Make sure that there are no large
metal objects or overhead power
lines in the vicinity of your vehicle
and that you have enough space to
drive in a circle
2. Input the currently applicable com-
pass zone
3. Press the adjustment button to bring
up C or CAL. Then drive in a com-
plete circle at a maximum speed of
4 mph/7 km/h.
If the calibration was successful, the
displays C or CAL are replaced with
the points of the compass.
