Compass Calibration - Buick 2006 Rendezvous Owner's Manual

Compass Calibration

If the calibration required symbol, or C, appears in the
compass, you must manually put the compass into
the calibration mode. To enter this mode, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition on and press the MODE button
until CALIBRATE COMPASS displays.
2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than
three seconds.
ZONE - - PRESS & HOLD SET TO CHANGE:
This display mode will appear when you are manually
calibrating the system. When the compass is being
recalibrated for the first time, the zone symbol will be
displayed. When the compass is being recalibrated
any time after that, the current zone number for
compass variance will be displayed in place of the
zone symbol. Press the SET button to select the zone
number from the graphic shown to select the current
area of the country in which you are driving.
PRESS SET TO CALIBRATE COMPASS: After
selecting your zone, press the MODE button and this
will be displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the
SET button and complete three 360 degree turns in
an area free from large metal objects at a speed
no faster than 5 mph (8 km/h).
The following two messages will toggle in the display
until you calibrate the compass:
•
DRIVE VEHICLE IN CIRCLE
•
CALIBRATING COMPASS
When calibration is complete, the vehicle direction will
be displayed instead of the C symbol.
