CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
(deviation calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth's magnetic field, The
amount of deviation varies according to
the geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve-
hicle and push the button for longer than
about 6 seconds until the number (1- 15)
appears on the display. Then push the
button again, referring to the following
map to select the number of the zone
where the vehicle is.
