Map Lamps; Compass Calibration; Compass Operation - Chevrolet 2006 Corvette Owner's Manual

Map Lamps

The mirror has map lamps located at the bottom of the
mirror. To manually turn the lamps on or off, press the
button next to each lamp.

Compass Operation

The mirror has an eight-point compass display in the
bottom of the mirror face.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for approximately
two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display
the current compass heading. For example, NE is
displayed for north-east.

Compass Calibration

If after two seconds the display does not show a compass
heading, there may be a strong magnetic field interfering
with the compass. Such interference may be caused by
a magnetic antenna mount, note pad holder or similar
object. If the letter C appears in the compass window,
the compass needs calibration.
The mirror compass can be calibrated by driving
the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until
the display reads a direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode by
pressing and holding the left map light button until
a C appears on the compass display.
