Compass calibration

1. If a “C” is displayed in the compass window, the compass needs to be calibrated.

2. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction.

3. You can also calibrate the compass by driving your vehicle on your everyday routine. The compass will be calibrated once it has tracked a complete circle.

4. To recalibrate your compass, push and hold the compass display button for 9 seconds until a “C” appears in the compass window.

5. Calibrate the compass according to step 2 or step 3.
