The compass on you r vehicle is self-calibrating, eliminat-
ing the need to manu ally calibrate the compass. When
the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and
the CAL ind icator message will flash in the EVIC until
the calibration is complete.
If the compass appears to be inaccu rate, you may wish to
manu ally calibrate the compass. Prior to calibrating the
compass, make sure the prop er compass variance valu e
(zone) is selected (refer to the above “Com pass Variance”

A good calibration requ ires a level surface and an envi-
ronm ent free from large metallic objects such as build-
ings, brid ges, und ergrou nd cables, railroad tracks, etc.
1. Start the engine, and leave the transm ission in the
PARK position.
Calibrate the compass by driving slow ly, und er 5 mph (8

large metallic objects, until the CAL ind icator in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function norm ally.
