Compass Calibration

A quicker method is listed below. If the vehicle's compass headings become inaccurate, the compass can be manually calibrated by:

Turn ignition on.

For a different Zone selection, push in the Comp switch for 3 seconds until the Zone selection comes up. Release, then toggle until correct zone is found and release switch.
To re-calibrate, hold the Comp switch for 6 seconds until a "C" is displayed. Drive your vehicle in at least 3 circles, allowing 45 seconds to complete one circle.
