Procedures For Calibrating The Compass

  1. Press the "COMP" button. The visual display is now in compass mode and the vehicle's directional heading (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW) will be displayed.

    Pressing the "COMP" button a second time will turn off the visual display.

  2. If the display reads "C," there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. In this case, the compass may need calibration.
