NOTE:

In some cases the compass may need to be calibrated. For example it always needs to be calibrated if the rear view mirror has been replaced or appears in the display.

Look for a large, open area that is free of traffic, for example a car park or industrial site.

Ignition on.

Press the button (1) for at least 6 seconds, must now appear in the display.

Then drive slowly (below 10 km/h) in a circle until the compass direction is displayed again (2-3 turns).

The calibration is now complete.
