Compass Zone Adjustment

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

Scheme 258

Scheme 258: Compass Zone Adjustment
  1. Refer to the compass calibration zone map below 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) (Fusion/Milan) or Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) (MKZ) 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. NOTE: After the 7 and 9 buttons have been released for approximately 5 seconds, the compass display exits the zone setting mode.
  4. Release the 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 zone adjustment.

  1. Start the vehicle. 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, and wipers) and make sure all doors are closed.
  2. Press and hold (for approximately 10 seconds) the 7 and 9 buttons until the CAL indicator appears in the display, then release the buttons. NOTE: The vehicle remains in the CAL mode until the compass has been successfully calibrated. NOTE: While holding the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) (Fusion/Milan) or Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) (MKZ) 7 and 9 buttons down, the compass display first enters the ZONE setting mode (after 5 seconds) and then after another 5 seconds (10 seconds total), the compass display enters the CAL mode.
  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. NOTE: If the CAL indicator does not turn off after the vehicle is driven in a circle at least 5 times, repeat the procedure.
  4. If the CAL indicator 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 AUTO-DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRROR»(ref-356023-S36108403572010013000000) .
