Honda CR-V: Compass Operation

Next to the outside temperature
indicator of the information display,
a compass indicates which direction
your vehicle is pointed. It indicates
eight directions.
N: North
S: South
E: East
W: West
NE: Northeast
NW: Northwest
SE: Southeast
SW: Southwest

traveling in the north-east direction,
the compass shows ‘‘NE’’ in the
display.
Compass operation can be affected
by driving near power lines or
stations, across bridges, through
tunnels, over railroad crossings, past
large vehicles, or driving near large
objects that can cause a magnetic
disturbance. It can also be affected
by accessories such as antennas and
roof racks that are mounted by
