Electronic Compass: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The compass display and module are an integral part of the rear view mirror. A two character display located in the upper right hand side of the mirror indicates the current direction of the vehicle (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW). The compass continuously recalibrates due to changes in the magnetic field and will remain accurate during most driving conditions.
