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.
