Calibration Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The compass display is equipped with an automatic correction function. If the compass display reads "C" or the direction is not shown correctly, perform the correction procedure below.

  1. Press and hold the mode (N) switch for about 9 seconds. The display will read "C".
  2. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle, in an open, safe place. The initial calibration is completed in about three turns.
NOTE: In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
