compass heading
(“N” for North, for example), there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the
compass.
Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or
a
similar magnetic item. If the letter “C” should ever
appear in the compass window, the mirror may
need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated
in one of two ways:
0 Drive the vehicle in circles at five mph (8 kmh) or
less until the display reads a direction,
or
0 Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
