Compass Calibration
Press and hold the on/off button to activate the
compass calibration mode. CAL will be displayed in
the compass window on the mirror.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example), there
may be a strong magnetic eld interfering with the
compass. Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder, or
similar object. If the letter C or CAL appears in the
compass window, the compass may need to be
reset or calibrated.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving
the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the
compass to compensate for compass variance
if you live outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjustfor compass variance. If not adjusted to account
for compass variance, your compass could
give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until the zone
number is displayed. The number shown is
the current zone number.
