Calibrating the Automatic Day-Night Mirror Compass using the Autocal
Feature
The automatic day-night mirror has an autocal compass which automatically
calibrates, during normal driving conditions, in order to prevent the vehicle's
unique magnetic fields from causing the mirror to display the wrong compass
direction. During calibration, the letter C displays. Calibration
is completed when the C changes to the correct directional
heading. Once calibrated, the mirror does not need to be recalibrated.
When you turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, calibration
does not change.
Calibrating the Automatic Day-Night Mirror Compass Manually
- If the letter C should ever appear in the compass window, the
mirror may need calibration. The mirror can be calibrated in one of
2 ways:
• | Drive the vehicle in complete circles at 5 mph
(8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. |
• | Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine. |
- The mirror is set at zone 8 upon leaving the factory. If
you live outside zone 8, adjust the compass in order to compensate
for the compass variance.
- Press and hold the COMPASS button located at the bottom of the
mirror until a zone number appears in the display.
- Find your current location and variance zone number. Refer to Automatic Day/Night Mirror - United States Compass Zones
or Automatic Day/Night Mirror - World Compass Zones
in the Compass Variance
Setup Description.
- Press the COMPASS button on the bottom of the mirror until the
zone number appears in the display. After you stop pressing the button, the
display will show a compass direction within a few seconds. This
is the automatic calibration mode. Drive in a circle in order to
calibrate the mirror. Refer to step 1.
