Compass Calibration The compass may need calibration if one of the following occurs: Outside Power Mirrors The controls for the power mirrors are located on the instrument panel. • If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle. • After approximately five seconds, the display does not show a compass heading (N for North, for example), there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder, or a similar magnetic item. • The compass does not display the correct heading and the compass zone variance is set correctly. In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, push in the on/off button for approximately eight seconds or until CAL is displayed. The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. To adjust the mirrors do the following: 1. Move the selector switch to the left or right to choose the driver's or passenger's mirror. 2. Press the corresponding edges of the round control pad to move each mirror to the desired direction. Adjust each outside mirror so that you can see a little of your vehicle, and the area behind your vehicle. Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. 2-31
