Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. For optimum calibration, turn off all non-essential electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, map lamps, wipers, etc.) and make sure all doors are shut.
  2. Drive to an open, level area away from large metallic objects or structures and high voltage lines.
  3. Press and release the RESET button to start the compass calibration function.
  4. NOTE: This step will take up to 5 circles to complete the calibration.
  5. Slowly drive in a circle less than 5 km/h (3 mph) until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETED.
  6. The compass is now calibrated.
