Problem with Compass

Hey guys! Im not sure if this problem has been around since I bought the car or it just happened, but my compass is not working correctly. I mean it shows North and South correctly, but when I am driving West, it says East, and when I am driving East it says West. Its the opposite. Is there a way to calibrate this by myself, or do I need to take it to the dealer?

Its kind of funny, since I have not noticed this and I bought the car near the end of Aug 2009. I went on a trip to Chicago this past weekend and noticed I was always going the wrong way when someone told me to go East, until I noticed my compass was wrong.

Any help would be great. Thanks

If the display reads "C", then the recalibration procedure on page 2-8 of the manual would be the solution. Your situation is odd.

My only suggestion would be to make sure your zone is correct (see page 2-9). If that doesn't work, it's probably time for a trip to the service dept. Typically the error would be N/S, not E/W.
