Calibrating the compassThe direction display 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.

ate.
To obtain higher precision or perfec t calibration, refer to the following.
■Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Push and hold “AUTO” for 6 sec-
onds.
A number (1 to 15) appears on the
compass display.
Press “AUTO”, and referring to the map above, select the number
of the zone where you are.

bration is complete.
