Interior Mirror & Compass
Calibrating the compass
Setting the compass
Variations in the earth's magnetic field cause
changes to occur in the compass reading as the
vehicle is driven from one set zone to another.
However, it should be noted that magnetic
variation between adjacent zones is only 4
degrees, and for most motoring situations,
resetting the compass should only be
necessary if the vehicle has crossed more than
one zone, or calibration was carried out in any
zone other than zone 8.
Note that the precise points at which the set
zones change cannot be accurately plotted and
that drivers situated in an area where zones
merge should not need to reset the compass
every time the vehicle crosses from one to
another.

Turn the starter switch to position II. The mirror
display should show the letter ‘C’.
To set the compass:
1.
Identify the appropriate zone for your
location (see the map that follows).
Turn the starter switch to position II.
Using a ballpoint pen or similar probe,
press and hold the button on the
underside of the mirror until a zone
number appears in the display. This will
take approximately 3 seconds (note that
the compass automatically defaults to
zone 8).
Release the button, then continue
pressing and releasing the button
alternately until the required zone number
appears in the display.
If 'C' is not displayed, use a ballpoint pen or
similar probe to press the button on the
underside of the mirror for six seconds until ‘C’
is displayed. The button can then be released
and the compass calibrated as follows:
2.
3.
Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (7 km/h) or less (two circles
should be sufficient) until the mirror display
shows a direction (‘N’, ‘NE’, ‘E’, ‘SE’, ‘S’, ‘SW’,
‘W’ or ‘NW’).
4.
5.
Alternatively, the compass will eventually
calibrate itself during normal vehicle use, but
depending upon the type of driving that is
undertaken, this may take considerably longer.
Once the set zone has been selected, the
display reappears (after 10 seconds
approx.), and the compass is correctly set
for the required zone.
