satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.

Radio Signals for Some
Gate Operators
Some gate operators and
radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time out
or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not

with Step 3 under
“Programming the Universal
Remote System” to complete.

obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is
dirty, cracked, or obstructed
by something that blocks the
view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such
that the front end points
upward, causing the light sensor to aim high and not
