Compass Function

The compass can be turned on and off, and it remembers the last state when the ignition is cycled. To turn the display function on or off:

1. Press and release the button to turn off the display function.

2. Press and release the button again to turn the display back on.

Additional settings can be made by pressing and holding the button in sequence, as described in detail below.

There is a difference between magnetic north and true north. The compass in the mirror can compensate for this difference if it knows the Magnetic Zone in which it is operating. This is set either by the dealer or by the user. Operating zone numbers for North America are shown in the figure in the following section.

To adjust the zone setting:

1. Determine the desired zone number based on your current location on the Zone Map.

2. Press and hold the button for more than 3 but less than 6 seconds. The current Zone Number will appear on the display.

3. Press and hold the button repeatedly to increase the numbers. (Note: they will cycle through … 13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …). Release the button when the desired Zone Number appears on the display to set the new zone.

4. After approximately 5 seconds, the compass will again begin displaying the compass direction.

Certain conditions can change the vehicle's magnetic field, such as installing a ski rack or CB antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle can also cause changes in the magnetic field. In these cases, the compass will need to be recalibrated to quickly correct these changes. To recalibrate the compass:

1. Press and hold the button for more than 6 seconds. When the compass memory is cleared, "C" appears on the display.

2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at a speed of less than 8 km/h.
