Compass Calibration - Mitsubishi ECLIPSE Owner's Manual

Features and controls

Compass calibration

This compass is self-calibrating, which means it automatically
makes corrections against magnetization of its components
when the vehicle is running. It should not be necessary to man-
ually calibrate the compass. If the indicated direction appears
to be wrong, first check the compass variance.
If the compass variance is correct, but the compass still shows
the wrong direction, calibrate the compass by the following
steps.
CAUTION
!
Adjust for compass calibration when the vehicle is
3
safely parked.
Although the compass calibration can be adjusted at
speeds of less than 2 mph (3 km/h), it should be
adjusted when the vehicle is safely parked.
NOTE
The compass adjustment mode will automatically shut off,
if no adjustment is made within about 10 seconds.
