Start the engine. 3. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the message center displays "RESET FOR CALIBRATION". 4. Press RESET to enter compass calibration mode which will display "CIRCLE SLOWLY TO CALIBRATE". 5. Drive the vehicle in circles up to three times until the message CALIBRATION COMPLETED appears and one of the eight valid headings (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) is displayed. 6. Verify that the calibration process has taken place by driving the vehicle in at least one circle, confirming that the heading changes accordingly. If this happens, the compass has been calibrated successfully. Otherwise, if the display shows only one heading as the vehicle is being driven around, repeat the procedure from Step 3. 88 2009 Sable (mgo) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
