Deviation Calibration
The direction display on the compass deviates from the true direction determined by the earth's magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to the geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the vehicle and push the button for longer than about 6 seconds until the number (1-15) appears on the display. Then push the button again, referring to the map to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is. (Scheme 5) If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the calibration is finished.

Circling Calibration
Note. Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.). During calibration, do not operate the electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
The letter "C" appears on the display in case the circling calibration is required due to a drastic change in the magnetic field. To rectify this, follow the calibration procedure
- Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h) or slower in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is displayed.
- After driving in 1-3 circles in the above method, calibration is complete with the direction shown on the display.
