Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.
