Calibrate The Compass Manually As Follows:
- Start the engine but leave the vehicle in "PARK".
- Press and release the SCROLL push buttons (5 or 6) until "System Set-up" is displayed and highlighted.
- Press the STEP push button (3) to open the menu.
- Using the scroll buttons, scroll through until " Calibrate Compass " is displayed and highlighted.
- Momentarily depress and release the STEP push button to initiate the calibration procedure. The "CAL" symbol will come on solid in the EVIC display next to the compass direction that is displayed.
- Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines, through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8 km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate successful compass calibration.
- Confirm that the correct direction is now indicated by the compass.
- Using the scroll button, select " Turn Off Menu " to exit.
NOTE:
If the compass display indicates an inaccurate compass heading or the display is locked up, the RCM (if equipped) may be inoperative and require replacement.
NOTE:
If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE:
If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in another location.
