If the car is equipped with a standard navigation system, compass calibration is not required. There is no corresponding Compass item in the menu.
On a car without a standard navigation system, the compass is constantly calibrated automatically. After retrofitting the vehicle with electrical or metal fittings (mobile phone, TV tuner, etc.) the compass needs to be manually calibrated.
Setting the compass zone
