Honda CR-V: Compass Zone Selection
In most areas, there is a variation between magnetic north and true north. Zone selection is required so the compass can compensate for this variation. To check and select the zone, do this:
1. Press and hold the select/reset knob for 10 seconds to change the display to the reset mode.
2. Select the zone indicator by turning the select/reset knob. The display begins to blink. Push the same knob to enter this setting.
3. Find the zone for your area on the zone map. Each zone number (1 through 15) corresponds to a compass zone.
4. Turn the select/reset knob to select the appropriate zone number, and press the select/ reset knob to enter the number.
When the system does not accept the selected compass zone, you see ‘‘- -’’ in the direction display. Select appropriate zone number again.
