- Start the vehicle.
- Locate the electronic compass/temperature display on the overhead console, press and hold the SELECT button until CAL appears in the display, then release the SELECT button.
NOTE:
For optimum calibration, drive to an open, level location away from large metallic objects or structures. Switch off all non-essential electrical accessories (heated rear window, heater fan, A/C, map lamps, wipers, etc.) and make sure all doors are closed.
NOTE:
While holding the SELECT button down, the compass display will first enter the ZONE setting mode (after 5 seconds) and then after another 5 seconds (10 seconds total), the compass display will enter the CAL mode.
NOTE:
If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle at least 5 times, repeat the procedure.
