If the car is equipped with a standard navigation system, compass calibration is not required. The corresponding Compass item is not available in the menu.
On a vehicle without a standard navigation system, the compass is constantly calibrated automatically. After retrofitting the vehicle with electrical or metal devices (mobile phone, TV tuner, etc.) the compass must be calibrated manually.
Setting the compass zone
- Turn on the ignition.
- Select the Settings menu, then Compass and Zone.
- Select the compass system zone according to your current location.
- Set the zone (1-15) and confirm the setting.
