If the display reads “C”, calibrate the com-
pass by driving the vehicle in three com-
plete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
You can also calibrate the compass by driv-
ing your vehicle on your everyday route. The compass will be calibrated once it has
tracked three complete circles.
COMPASS DISPLAY
Press thebutton when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position. The
direction will be displayed.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north
and geographical north is known as vari-
ance. In some areas, this difference can
sometimes be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:
1. Establish your location on the zone map. Refer to the illustration. Record
your zone number.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON po- sition.
3. Press the
button in for 5 seconds
until the current zone entry number is
displayed.
4. Press the
button repeatedly until
the desired zone entry number is dis-
played.

∙If a magnet is located near the com-
pass or the vehicle is driven where the
terrestrial magnetism is disturbed,
the compass display may not indi-
cate the correct direction.
∙ In places where the terrestrial mag-
netism is disturbed, the correction of
the direction starts automatically.
Inaccurate compass direction
The compass display is equipped with au-
tomatic correction function. If the correct
direction is not shown, follow this proce-
dure. 1. With the display turned on, press and hold the
button for about 9 sec-
onds. The display will read “C.”
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at a
maximum speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
3. Af ter completing the circles the display should return to normal.
∙ If the compass deviates from the cor- rect indication soon af ter repeated ad-
justment, have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service. ∙ The compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass point in tunnels or while
driving up or down a steep hill. (The
compass returns to the correct com-
pass point when the vehicle moves to
an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)
CAUTION
∙ Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
∙ When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
