Calibrating the Compass
All electronic compasses need to know the magnetic
prole of your vehicle. This is called calibration and
is done automatically by your compass. However, if you
would like to manually calibrate the compass, the
following instructions will show you how.
Sometimes, strong magnetic elds can affect the
compass. If the compass display does not show a
direction, and CALIBRATE COMPASS is displayed on
the DIC, try calibrating the compass as follows:
1. Drive the vehicle to an open, at area.
2. Press MODE to display COMPASS CALIBRATION.3. Press SELECT to display PRESS RESET TO
RECALIBRATE and then press the RESET
button.
4. The display will change to SLOWLY DRIVE IN
SMALL CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in small
circles. Do not drive faster than 10 mph (16 km/h).
5. Continue to drive in circles until the CALIBRATION
COMPLETE message is displayed on the DIC and
a direction is shown for the compass.
Your compass should be calibrated. You will know this
when a direction is shown and the CALIBRATE
COMPASS message is no longer displayed.
Compass Accuracy
Your compass may show different headings around
bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills.
This is normal and is true of compasses in general.
If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk,
they could affect accuracy. If the affect is minimal, the
compass will adapt to these objects over time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to
mount it away from the center of the trunk near the
rear window.
3-71

The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the
compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear
defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off
again, the accuracy returns to normal.
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in
the ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not
know they are there. As an example, many concrete
roads have metal reinforcements inside.
Also, if you drive with the trunk open, this could affect
accuracy and could decalibrate the compass.
Audio System(s)
Notice:Before adding any sound equipment to
your vehicle, like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can
be added by checking with your dealer. Also,

telephone units. If sound equipment can be added,
it is very important to do it properly. Added
sound equipment may interfere with the operation
of your vehicle’s engine, radio, or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may
interfere with the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.Figure out which audio system is in your vehicle, nd
out what your audio system can do, and how to operate
all of its controls.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory

may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station

time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
