Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to an area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects). Only calibrate the compass in a safe location where driving the vehicle in circles is not a problem.

  1. With the ignition ON, press the vehicle information button until - PRESS SET/RESET TO CALIBRATE COMPASS - is displayed in the DIC
  2. Press the set/reset button in order to start compass calibration.
  3. The DIC should display - CALIBRATING BEGUN DRIVE IN CIRCLES.
  4. Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than mph 8 km/h (5 mph) until calibration is complete. The DIC will display - CALIBRATION COMPLETE - when the calibration is complete.
