CompassCalibration
ManualCalibration
If the compass appears erratic and CAL does not appear,
you must manu ally put the compass into the calibration
mode. To ensu re prop er compass calibration, make sure
the compass variance is prop erly set before manu ally
calibrating the compass (refer to Com pass Variation
Adjustm ent).
AutomaticCalibration
Once calibrated , the compass has the ability to self-
correct for changes in magnetic field to keep the compass
accurate. This is referred to as Autom atic Calibration. If
magnetic field changes are too great, the compass will
enter CAL mode on it’s own and manu al calibration will
be requ ired . To recalibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
at less than 5 mph (8 km/ h) throu gh up to 11⁄2 360° turns
in an area free from large metal objects or power lines.
When the compass has been calibrated , the CAL sym bol
will turn off and the compass will function norm ally.
To put the compass into calibration mode: Turn the
ignition to the ON position. Press and hold the center
button for more than 6 second s until CAL (calibration
mode) appears in the display. To change the display
betw een VAR (compass variance) and CAL (compass
calibration) modes. Release the button to invoke manu al
calibration mode. To recalibrate the compass, drive the
vehicle at less than 5 mph (8 km/ h) throu gh up to CAL
shou ld display for a complete 11⁄2 360° turns in an area
free from large metal objects or power lines. When the
compass has been calibrated , the CAL sym bol will turn
off and the compass will function norm ally.
When the vehicle is new, the compass shou ld initially be
verified for correct compass variance (refer to Com pass
Variation Adjustm ent) and calibrated manu ally (refer to
Manu al Calibration). This will ensu re correct initial cali-
bration and eliminate initial erroneou s compass head -
ings.
