Compass Zone Adjustment

Note. This procedure is only applicable to vehicles without navigation. For vehicles with navigation, there is no compass zone adjustment.

Scheme 1

Scheme 1: Compass Zone Adjustment
  1. Refer to the «COMPASS CALIBRATION»(ref-344146-S14919551672009101600000) zone map to select the correct compass zone setting for the geographic location of the vehicle.
  2. With the ignition in the ON position, press and hold the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) 7 and 9 buttons (for approximately 5 seconds) until the compass display shows the current zone setting (ZONE XX). Release the 7 and 9 buttons.
  3. Before the zone setting mode turns off (within 5 seconds), momentarily press and release the 7 and 9 buttons to increase the zone increment by one. Set the zone display number to match the vehicle geographical location on the compass calibration zone map.
  4. Release the FCIM 7 and 9 buttons for 5 seconds to exit the zone setting mode.

Compass Calibration

Note. This procedure is only applicable to vehicles without navigation. For vehicles with navigation, there is no compass calibration.

  1. Start the vehicle.
  2. Press and hold (for approximately 10 seconds) the FCIM 7 and 9 buttons until the CAL indicator appears in the display, then release the buttons.
  3. Drive the vehicle slowly at less than 5 km/h (3 mph) in a continuous circle until the CAL indicator disappears from the display and the compass heading is shown.
  4. If the CAL message does not turn off after driving in a circle at least 5 times (and the procedure has been repeated at least once), install a new compass module (integral to the auto-dimming interior mirror). For additional information, refer to Interior Rear View Mirror in «REAR VIEW MIRRORS»(ref-344150) .
