Electronic Compass Calibration: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2004 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The electronic compass is capable of distinguishing 8 primary directions:
- North (N)
- Northeast (NE)
- East (E)
- Southeast (SE)
- South (S)
- Southwest (SW)
- West (W)
- Northwest (NW)
The compass calibration procedures establish a base direction from which the compass can work. Once the compass has been properly calibrated, the digital display indicates the direction of vehicle travel.
