Electrical Compass Zone Selection and Calibration: Calibration
NOTE:
The electrical compass unit may need to be manually calibrated after exposure to a strong magnetic field. If the electrical compass unit seems to be continually showing the wrong direction, and is not self-calibrating, do the following.
- Check the No. B15 (20 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. C11 (7.5 A) and the No. C13 (7.5 A) fuses in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Press and hold the SETUP button until you hear a beep (about 5 seconds). The display shows the electrical compass setting menu items.
- Rotate the SELECTOR knob to select the Calibration and press the SELECTOR knob to enter the selection.NOTE: If necessary, press the RETURN button to return to the previous display. Pressing the SETUP button cancels the electrical compass setting mode.
- Press the SELECTOR knob to enter the selection. The display shows the Start Calibration (A) or PUSH CAL START (B).
- When the display shows the Start Calibration or PUSH CAL START, press the SELECTOR knob. The compass display blinks and the CAL indicator (A) comes on.
- Drive the vehicle slowly in three complete circles (20 seconds or more per a circle). When the calibration is successfully completed, the compass display stops blinking and the CAL indicator goes off.NOTE:
- The audio system is not related to the electrical compass system. Even if the electrical compass system is calibrating, the display returns to the normal display which was last selected.
- If the calibration fails, try another location (an open area away from buildings, power lines, other vehicles, and any other sources of strong magnetic fields) and do the calibration procedure again.
