• During normal operation, the Compass Mirror will continuously update the compass calibration to adjust for

gradual changes in the vehicle's magnetic “remnant” field. If the vehicle is subjected to high magnetic influ-
ences, the compass may appear to indicate false headings, become locked, or appear that it is unable to be
calibrated. If this occurs, perform the calibration procedure.

• If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked, ver-

ify the correct zone variance.

Zone Variation Setting Procedure

INFOID:0000000001328523

NOTE:
The zone setting is factory preset (“default” setting) to zone 8.
1.

Press and hold the inside mirror switch for 6 – 9 seconds.

2.

The current zone setting appears on the compass display.

3.

Find the current geographical location number in the Zone Varia-
tion Chart.

4.

Select the new zone number. (Press the inside mirror switch
until the new zone number appears on the compass display.)

5.

After select the new zone number, the compass display will
automatically shows a direction within a few seconds.

Preform the following Calibration Procedure for more accurate
indications.

Calibration Procedure

INFOID:0000000001328524

NOTE:
The compass calibrates itself under normal driving conditions. However, occasional circumstances may cause
the compass to operate inaccurately. Example: Driving from rural (wide open) areas to crowded city areas, or

Symptom

Cause

Solution / Reference

The compass display reads “C”.

• Compass is not calibrated.
• Incorrect zone variance setting.
• Large change in magnetic field (Steel 

bridges, subways, concentrations of met-
al, carwashes, etc.)

• Compass was calibrated incorrectly or in 

the presence of a strong magnetic field.

Perform Calibration.
Refer to 

DI-95, "Calibration Procedure"

.

Compass shows the wrong direction.

Compass does not change direction – ap-
pears “Locked”.

Compass does not show all the directions, 
one or more is missing.

The compass was calibrated but it “loses” 
calibration.

On long trips the compass shows the wrong 
direction.

Perform Zone Variation Setting if correct 
reading is desired in that location.
Refer to 

DI-95, "Zone Variation Setting Pro-

cedure"

.

Compass does not work – No direction is 
displayed.

Compass not turned ON.

Check for green LED indicator (inside mir-
ror switch).

No power to inside mirror.

Check power supply circuit.

COMPASS

if an aftermarket (i.e., non original equipment) antenna with a magnetic base is attached to the vehicle. Cali-
brate the mirror compass if the display shows only one direction or a limited number of directions.
NOTE:
• If “magnetic hats” are used in the dealership for vehicle identification, remove the hat from the vehicle before

performing the following steps. Do NOT put the hat back on the vehicle after the procedure is completed.

• Drive the vehicle to an open level area; away from large metallic objects, structures, and overhead power

lines.

• Turn off “non-essential” electrical accessories (rear window defrost, heater/air conditioning, wipers) and

close the doors.

1.

Verify the correct compass zone setting for the geographical location. Refer to 

DI-95, "Zone Variation Set-

ting Procedure"

.

2.

Press and hold the inside mirror switch for more than 9 seconds.

3.

“C” is displayed on the compass display, when calibration starts.

4.

Drive slowly [less than 8 km/h (5 mph)] in a circle until the “C / CAL” is replaced with primary headings (N,
NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, or NW).
NOTE:
This will require driving at least 2 complete 360 degree circles; 3 complete circles may be required.

5.

The compass calibration procedure is now complete. The compass should operate normally.
NOTE:
If at any time the compass continually displays the incorrect direction or the reading is erratic or locked,
repeat the calibration procedure.
