The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially se\

was delivered, and should always be adjusted if the car is driven to a n\
ew magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened pape\
rclip or similar object for
approximately 3 seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the curre\
nt magnetic zone will also be
displayed.

15) is displayed.
After several seconds, the compass heading will again be displayed, and \
the change of magnetic zones is
complete.
Calibrating the compass

- Turn off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid in\
terference with the compass (e.g.
audio system, etc).
- Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at \
least 6 seconds. "CAL" will be
displayed.
- Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) unt\
il CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be done by driving normally until CAL is no longer d\
isplayed. Calibration is
complete.
