CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation

calibration)

The direction display on the compass

deviates from the true direction deter-

mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The

angle of deviation varies according to the

geographic position of the vehicle.

To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,

then push and hold the switch until the

zone number appears on the display. Then

push the switch, referring to the following
