Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 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 both buttons for six to eight seconds until CAL is displayed.
  4. Release both buttons and drive slowly in a circle until CAL disappears from the display (about two to three circles).
  5. The compass is now calibrated.
