Calibrating the compass
The direction display deviates fr om the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies depending
on the geographic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the
compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to “Deviation calibra-
tion”.
■ Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle.
Press and hold “AUTO”.
A number (1 to 15) appears on
the compass display.
