CHRYSLER 300 2005 1.G Owners Manual

Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display ªCALº until the compass is calibrated. You may
also calibrate the compass by completing one or more
360É turns in an area free from large metal or metallic
objects until the ªCALº message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the ªCALº message
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually.
To put into a Calibration Mode:Turn on the ignition
switch. Press and hold the compass button for approxi-
mately 2 seconds. Use the SCROLL buttons until ªCali-
brate Compassº is highlighted. Press and release theFUNCTION SELECT button to start the calibration. The
message ªCALº will appear in the EVIC. Complete one
or more 360É turns in an area free from large metal objects
until the ªCALº message turns off. The compass will now
function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and Geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE:Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the overhead console. This is where the compass sensor is
located.
