Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Compass: Notes
The compass display and module are an integral part of the interior rear view mirror. A 1 or 2 character display located in the upper right hand side of the mirror indicates the current direction of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). The compass continuously recalibrates due to changes in the magnetic field and remains accurate during most driving conditions. The compass display can be turned off and on by pressing the switch on the mirror.
