With the ignition in the ON position, press and hold the Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM) (Fusion/Milan) or Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) (MKZ) 7 and 9 buttons (for approximately 5 seconds) until the compass display shows the current zone setting (ZONE XX). Release the 7 and 9 buttons.
Before the zone setting mode turns off (within 5 seconds), momentarily press and release the 7 and 9 buttons to increase the zone increment by one. Set the zone display number to match the vehicle geographical location on the compass calibration zone map.
NOTE: After the 7 and 9 buttons have been released for approximately 5 seconds, the compass display exits the zone setting mode.
Release the 7 and 9 buttons for 5 seconds to exit the zone setting mode.
