window is not showing the correct heading
²ªCALº is displayed in the trip computer display window
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.

5. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 5 km/h [3 mph]) in circles until the
ªCALº indicator turns off. This will take three to five circles to complete
