Trip Computer - Pontiac 2002 Montana Owner's Manual

Automatic Compass Calibration
-
The compass is self calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases the calibration symbol C will be displayed
where the compass reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make three 360 _ turns. The calibration
symbol will turn off and the compass reading will
be displayed.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put
the compass into the calibration mode.
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
compass/temperature mode. Press both the E/M and
MODE buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds
until the calibration symbol appears. Release both
buttons and complete three 360 _ turns in an area free
from large metal objects. The calibration symbol will
turn off and the compass reading will be displayed.
