8 – Compass Calibration
Note that the K2 & K3 NVS Mirror needs no further calibration.
1) K5 and K21 Mirrors:
a) Zone Variation: This compass must be set to compensate for the
variation between true north and magnetic north. To set variation:
1) Turn ignition on.
2) Using the map, (Fig. 19), to find your geographic location, note
the zone that you are in.
3) To select zone, push in the Comp. switch for 3 seconds until the
zone selection comes up. Release, then toggle until correct zone
is found and release switch. After 5 seconds of no activity,
display will return to normal temperature reading.
b) Compass Calibration: This compass automatically calibrates itself
while the vehicle is
driven as your route takes you in complete circles. Therefore no
calibration should be required, though it may take up to an hour. A
quicker method is listed below. If the vehicle’s compass headings
become inaccurate, the compass can be manually calibrated by:
1) Turn ignition on.
2) Zone variation needs to be changed for use in different areas of
the country.
3) For a different Zone selection, see a3 above.
4) To re-calibrate, hold the Comp switch for 6 seconds until CAL is
displayed. Drive
your vehicle in at least 3 circles, allowing 45 seconds to
complete one circle.
2) K31 Mirrors:
a) Zone Variation: This compass must be set to compensate for the
variation between true north and magnetic north. To set:
1) Turn ignition on.
2) Using the map, (Fig. 19), find your geographic location, note the
zone that you are in.
3) To select zone, push the Center button for 3 seconds and release
when “Z” is
illuminated on display. Toggle the Center button until correct
zone is displayed. After 5 seconds of no activity, the zone will
be stored in memory.

zone that you are in.
3) To select zone, push (mirror icon) button for 3 seconds

It was ~35 F on the way home the other morning and misting. My display flashed a few times from 35 to ICE.
I guess it was warning me that the roads could be iceing up.....cool!
