Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Sable and 2005 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. For optimum calibration, drive to an open, level location away from large metallic objects or structures. Switch off all non-essential electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater A/C, map lamps, wiper, etc.) and make sure all the doors are closed.
  2. Start the vehicle.
  3. Press the INFO button on the message center and hold for 2 seconds. When the temperature display appears, release the INFO button.
  4. Press the INFO button for 2 more seconds and the message CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE will display.
    5. NOTE: Calibration is complete when the display shows the actual compass heading.
  5. Drive the vehicle in a tight 360 degree circle to calibrate the compass.
