100The Electronic Compass
(If equipped)The electronic compassThe compass is mounted to the inside rear view
mirror. The display is in the upper right hand
corner of the mirror glass.The display will show one of the following
directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW. The
brightness of the compass display is controlled by
the instrument panel dimming switch.
Factors Affecting Compass AccuracySome things which can affect compass accuracy are
large buildings, bridges, power lines, and powerful
antennas. Keep radar detectors and other
magnetically mounted devices as far away from the
compass as possible. Sometimes after-market and
dealer-installed moon roofs can affect the accuracy
of the compass. Using automatic car washes can
cause minor inaccuracies in the compass.
NOTE:Usually, when something affects the
compass readings, the compass will correct itself
after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass is still giving inaccurate
readings after a few days, perform a compass
adjustment.
