Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Compass

Fig. 14 Compass zones.

The compass does not need to be calibrated in vehicles with a factory-installed navigation system. There is no Compass menu item in this case.

On vehicles without a factory-installed navigation system that have the Premium instrument cluster, the compass is calibrated automatically. If electrical or metallic accessories are added to the vehicle, the compass must be manually recalibrated.

Adjusting the compass zone

• Switch on the ignition.

• Select the Settings menu followed by the Compass and Zone menu items.

• Select the compass zone according to the current location ⇒ Fig. 14 .

• Adjust and confirm compass zone (1-15).

Calibrating the compass

In order to calibrate the compass, you need a valid compass zone for the location and enough room to drive in a circle.

• Switch on the ignition.

• Select the Settings menu followed by the Compass and Calibration menu items.

• Confirm the A complete circle must be driven for calibration message with OK and then drive in a complete circle at about 6 mph (10 km/h).

During calibration, CAL is shown in the instrument cluster display. The calibration is complete when the compass direction is displayed.
