Compass Display (If Equipped) - Lincoln 1997 Town Car Owner's Manual

Compass Display (If Equipped)

The Compass can display direction indicated by N,
S, E, W, NE, NW, SE and SW. The sensor for the
compass display is located on the back side of the
rear view mirror. The Compass can be set to one of
15 geographic zones.
To set the ZONE, first locate the compass module
on the center rear view mirror post. Press and hold
the reset button located on top of the compass
module until the display in the message center
changes to show the current zone setting (1-15).
Release the reset button and press it agian
repeatedly until the current zone is displayed (see
zone map). After 10 seconds the display will return
to normal. Your zone will then be updated.
The Compass is continually self-calibrating and
should not require calibration, however a
manual-calibrating mode can be initiated.
NOTE: Compass calibration requires that the
vehicle be driven 2-3 mph (3-5 km/h) in at least
two 360 degree circles. A safe location free of
vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be required. To
manually calibrate the compass, locate the reset
button on the top side of the compass module.
Press and hold the reset button until the Compass
display indicates "CIRCLE SLOWLY". Once the
button has been released, slowly drive the vehicle
in circles until the "CIRCLE SLOWLY" indicator
disappears. This may require several complete
circles.
