Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: 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, wipers, etc.) and make sure all the doors are shut.
    NOTE: If power is interrupted during the calibration process, the compass resets to the original calibration data from before the calibration process started.
  1. Start the vehicle.
  2. Press and release the MODE button until the compass directional heading is displayed.
  3. Hold down the MODE button for 10 seconds to enter Calibration mode.
  4. The display will read PRESS RESET TO DECAL.
    5. NOTE: If the RESET button is not pressed the compass will exit calibration mode after three minutes of no input activity and the original calibration data will be restored.
  5. Press the RESET button to decalibrate the compass.
  6. The display will read CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE.
  7. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle.
  8. The compass heading will be displayed when the compass is calibrated.
