Setting compass zones
Depending on where you and your vehicle are
located, the compass zone may need to be
adjusted, refer to the following world map with
compass zones.
In order to adjust the compass zones, press the
adjusting button on the underside of the inside

point pen or the like, for approx. 3-4 seconds.

rently set compass zone.
To change the zone setting, press the adjusting
button repeatedly until the number of the com-
pass zone that applies to your current position
is displayed.
