192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL EVIC will flash the CAL indicator until the compass is calibrated. You may calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360° turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL indicator in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally. Manual Compass Calibration If the compass appears erratic, inaccurate, or abnormal, you may wish to calibrate the compass manually. However, prior to calibrating the compass, make sure the proper Compass Variance value is selected (Refer to "Compass Variance" for additional information). Then continue to calibrate the compass as follows: 1. Start the engine. Leave the selector lever in PARL in order to enter the EVIC Programming Menus. 2. Press and release the MENU Button until "Personal Settings" displays in the EVIC. 3. Press and release the STEP button until "Calibrate Compass Yes" displays in the EVIC. 4. Press and release the RESET Button and the CAL indicator will quit flashing. 5. Drive the vehicle slowly, completing one or more circles (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the CAL indicator turns off. The compass will now function normally.

In some areas of the country, the difference between magnetic and geographic North is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set using the following procedure: NOTE: Magnetic materials and cell phones should be kept away from the top of the Instrument Panel. This is where the compass sensor is located.
