Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will

correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal conditions.

If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual calibration may be

necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that

varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four

degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the

vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this

error. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.

Note: Compass zone and calibration adjustments can be entered by

using the INFO and SETUP MENU controls or using the reset button on

top of the compass sensor mounted behind the mirror.
