Compass Zone Adjustment; Compass Calibration Adjustment - Ford Econoline Owner's Manual

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in or on the vehicle may also affect compass
accuracy. Adjustments may need to be made to the zone and calibration
of the compass.

Compass zone adjustment

1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON
position.
3. Press and hold the SELECT
control until VAR appears in the
display, then release. The display
should show the current zone
number.
4. Press the SELECT control until
the desired zone number appears.
The display will flash and then
return to normal operation. The zone is now updated.

Compass calibration adjustment

Perform this adjustment in an open
area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines:
• Press and hold the SELECT
control until CAL appears in the
display (approximately eight
seconds) and release.
• Drive the vehicle slowly (less
than 5 km/h [3 mph]) in circles until CAL indicator turns off in about
2–3 complete circles.
• The compass is now calibrated.
