Compass Calibration

The Automatic Compass Calibration feature eliminates

the need for the operator intervention under normal

conditions. If the CAL indicator is lit, the compass needs

to be calibrated. A good calibration requires a level

surface and an environment free of large metal objects

such as large buildings, bridges, underground cables,

railroad tracks, etc.

Manual Compass Calibration

Compass calibration can also be requested. To manually

calibrate the compass, use the STEP button to step to the

compass/ temperature display and then hold down both

the STEP and US/M buttons simultaneously until the

CAL symbol is displayed. Release the buttons once the

CAL symbol appears. Manual compass calibration has

been initiated at this point. Drive the vehicle in circles in

an area free from large metal objects until the CAL

symbol is extinguished.

When the CAL indicator goes off, the compass is calibrated

and should display correct headings. Verify

proper calibration by checking North (N), South (S), East

(E), and West (W). If the compass does not appear

accurate, repeat the calibration procedure in another area.

Compass Variance

Variance is the difference between magnetic North and

geographic North. For proper compass function, the

correct variance zone must be set.

Setting the Compass Variance

Refer to the variance map for the correct compass variance

zone. To check the variance zone, the ignition must

be on and the compass / temperature displayed. Hold

down both the US / M and STEP buttons simultaneously

until the VAR symbol is lit and then immediately release

both buttons. The current variance zone will now be

displayed. To change the zone, press the STEP button

until the correct zone is displayed. Wait for about 5

seconds. The trip computer will store this variance in

memory and the compass will resume normal operation.

Have a 1997 Chrysler sebring the compass just says ccd what does this mean and how can it be fixed?

This means that the compass is in the calibration mode. If you have a Chrysler Sebring owners manual, it will help you finish the calibration for the area you live in. When you look it up, go to the "Index" section of the manual and you will find it. If I remembered or have my manual on me as I type this, I would just write what to do. Just read through it and you will find the section to get you back to "normal" operation. Take care and good luck :)
