When the outside temperature is lower  
than -30°C (-20°F) or higher than 70°C  
(158°F), the display shows only

The outside temperature sensor is lo-  
cated in frontofthe radiator. The sensor  
may be affected by road or engine heat,  
wind direction and other driving condi-  
tions. The display may differ from the  
actual outside temperature or the tem-  
perature displayed on various signs or  
billboards.

Push the ON/OFF switch when the ignition  
switch is in the ACC or ON position. The outside  
temperature will be displayed in OF.

The gauge needle is designed to move to the E  
(Empty) position when the ignition key is turned  
to the OFF position.  
Function to measure terrestrial magnetism  
and indicate heading direction of vehicle  
The instrument brightness control operates  
when the headlight switch is in the :Dꢀꢁ or  
�O position.  
CAUTION:  
Use the ICE indication for reference only.  
Confirm the traffic information and road  
conditions to drive safely.  
Function to indicate outside air temperature  
Push the switch again to change the indica-  
tion range from OF to °C.  
The a� indicates that the fuel filler lid is lo-  
cated on the right side of the vehicle.  
Keep turning the switch to adjust the brightness  
of the instrument panel lights. Turning the switch  
to the @ side will brighten the lights. Turning it  
to the ® side will dim the lights.

COMPASS DISPLAY  
In places where the terrestrial magne-  
tism is disturbed, the correction of the  
direction starts automatically, extin-  
guishing the direction bar. If turn is  
made one ortwo times, the correction is  
complete and the direction bar comes  
back on.  
Zone variation chart  
push the ON/OFF switch when the ignition  
switch is in the ACC or ON position. The  
direction will be displayed.  
Zone variation change procedure  
The difference between magnetic north and  
geographical north is known as variance. In  
some areas, this difference can sometimes be  
great enough to cause false compass readings.  
Follow these instructions to set the variance for  
your particular location if this happens:  
Correction functions of the compass  
display  
The compass display is equipped with automatic  
correction function. If the direction is not shown  
correctly, carry out manual correction procedure  
set out below.  
1. Establish your location on the zone map.  
Record your zone number.  
Manual correction procedure:  
2. Push in the ON/OFF switch for about 5  
seconds until the current zone entry number  
is displayed.  
1. Push the ON/OFF switch for about 10 sec-  
onds. The direction bar starts blinking.  
2. Drive the vehicle slowly in an open and safe  
area. The initial correction is completed while  
turning one or two turns.  
3. Push the ON/OFF switch repeatedly until the  
new zone entry number is displayed.  
Once the desired zone number is displayed,  
stop pushing the ON/OFF switch and the dis-  
play will show compass direction within a few  
seconds.  
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is  
extremely disturbed, the initial correction proce-  
dure may start automatically.  
If a magnet is put close to the compass  
or the vehicle is driven where the terres-  
trial magnetism is disturbed, the com-  
pass display may not indicate the cor-  
rect direction.
