Driver Controls Compass calibration mode 1. Press the momentary push button and hold it for more than 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, CAL is displayed, then release it. Note: After button release CAL will be displayed with a heading. The compass is now de-calibrated and enters the Initial AutoCal Mode. 2. Drive the vehicle in a tight circle in a magnetically clean area such as an open parking lot. Drive at a rate not faster than 15 seconds per circle 5 mph (8km/h). Note: Look for a parking lot away from buildings, light posts, manhole covers, sewer and drainage grates and other metallic objects. Some magnetic objects may be hidden underground. Look for signs of underground utilities, water mains or other industrial structures. The parking lot should be level and have a smooth surface. Blacktop is preferred over cement as a cement surface often contains iron reinforcing bars or metallic mesh that could interfere with the calibration process. • The CAL indicator will turn off when the calibration process is complete, leaving the compass heading on the display. Note: This process normally takes about 11⁄2 circles but may take longer if magnetic noise is present or if the circles are driven too fast. SLIDING DOOR OPERATION Manual door operation If equipped with a Power Sliding Door (PSD), turn the Power Door Lockout control on the overhead console to the OFF position. Refer to the Disabling power operation of the PSD section in this chapter for more information. Note: Before unlatching the left side door, verify that the fuel fill door is closed. The left hand door will not open if the fuel door is open. Slide the door carefully in a controlled manner to the full open position. At the end of travel, firmly push the door against the bump stop to engage the hold open mechanism to restrain the door. When operating the door on a gradient, special care should be taken to manually control the opening and closing speed of the door. 60 2007 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
