Electrical Compass Zone Selection and Calibration

NOTE:

- You should do this procedure any time the electrical compass unit is replaced.

- You should do this procedure in an open area away from buildings, power lines, and other vehicles.

- If you see "--" and the CAL indicator is shown in the audio-HVAC display, the compass is self-calibrating.

- The compass may need to be manually calibrated after exposure to a strong magnetic field. If the compass seems to be continually showing the wrong direction, and is not self-calibrating, do the following.

1. Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 5 (7.5 A) and No. 18 (7.5 A) fuses in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then press and hold the MENU button (A) until it beeps (about 2 seconds).






3. Turn the selector knob (B) to select ZONE.






4. Press the selector knob (B) to enter your selection. The display shows the currently selected zone number.
NOTE: If necessary, press the RETURN button (C) to return to the previous display. Pressing the MENU button (A) cancels the compass setting mode.






5. Find the zone for your area on the map. If the correct zone is not shown, turn the selector knob (B) to cycle the zone list up or down.

6. Once the correct zone is displayed, press the selector knob. The display then returns to normal.






7. Turn the selector knob (B) to select CALIBRATION, then press the knob.






8. When the display shows PUSH CAL START, press the selector knob. The compass display blinks and the CAL indicator comes on.

9. Drive the vehicle slowly in two complete circles. When the calibration is successfully complete, the compass display stops blinking and the CAL indicator goes off.
NOTE:

- While setting, pressing the RETURN button (C) returns to the previous display. Pressing the MENU button (A) cancels the compass setting mode.

- The audio system is not related to the compass system. Even if the compass system is calibrating, the display returns to the normal display which you selected last.

- Do this procedure in an open area, away from buildings, power lines, and other vehicles.
