COMPASS (if equipped)
The compass heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass zone adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is up
to four degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as
the vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate
this error. Refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
Compass zone adjustment

you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.

HOLD RESET FOR SETUP MENU.
3. Press and hold the
SELECT/RESET stem until the
message center displays HOLD RESET FOR SYSTEM CHECK. Do not
hold the stem down at this point as you do not want to enter the system
check. Instead, quickly release the stem and repeatedly press it again to
scroll through the setup menu until the message center displays
COMPASS ZONE XX.
4. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET stem for approximately two
seconds to enter the compass zone adjustment mode.

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
