If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually cali-
brated as follows:
1) Move the vehicle away from any
large steel structures or power
generating cables or equipment.
2) Turn on the compass by pressing
the COMP button.
3) Check the zone number by press-
ing the COMP button for more
than 4 seconds until the current
zone number appears in the dis-
play. To re-calibrate, hold the
COMP button for 3 seconds until
C is displayed.
If the zone number is different for
your country, set the correct zone
number referring to "Setting the
compass zone" and perform the
"Calibration procedure" again.4) Make sure the vehicle windshield
wipers are turned off.
5) Drive your vehicle in at least 2
complete (either clockwise or
counter-clockwise) circles at less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) until the com-
pass heading appears. Driving in
a circle in right-handed direction
and opposite direction is possible
and if possible, stop the wiper
operation.
6) If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
