Compass Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to an area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects).

  1. Turn ON the ignition.
  2. Press the MODE button in order to advance to the COMPASS CALIBRATION mode.
  3. Press the SELECT button in order to display PRESS RESET TO RECALIBRATE.
  4. Press the RESET button.
  5. Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than 10 MPH (16 km/h) until the DIC displays CALIBRATION COMPLETE and the compass displays the proper vehicle heading. The calibration procedure is now complete.
