Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” message
does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the
compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press the MENU button until “Personal
Settings” is displayed.
3. Press the STEP button until “Calibrate Compass YES”
is displayed.
4. Press and release the RESET button to start the
calibration. The message “CAL” will display on the
compass temperature screen in the EVIC.
5. Slowly drive the vehicle at a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h)
in a complete 360°circle, (in an area free from large
metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
North and geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set
using the following procedure:
NOTE: Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the overhead console. This is where the compass sensor is
located.
