Compass; Compass Calibration - Pontiac G6 2009 Owner's Manual

Compass

Compass Operation
O
Press or depending on the vehicle, press AUTO/OFF
to turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on,
the compass displays the current compass direction
after a few seconds.

Compass Calibration

If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example), there may
be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass.
Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, note pad holder, or similar object. If the letter C
appears in the compass window, the compass may need
to be reset or calibrated.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km) or less until the display reads
a direction.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone
eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance
needs to be changed to the appropriate zone.
2-38
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number displays.
3. Once the zone number displays, press
repeatedly until you reach the correct zone number.
If C appears in the compass window, the compass
may need calibration. See "Compass Calibration"
listed previously.
