Calibrating the compass

3

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by

the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according

to the geographic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in the illustration, the compass

will deviate.

To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.

■ Deviation calibration

STEP

1

Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.

Press and hold “AUTO” for 6

seconds.

STEP

2

A number (1 to 15) appears on

the compass display.

STEP

3

Press “AUTO” and, referring to the map above, select the

number of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the

calibration is complete.

C appears on the compass dis-

play.

Drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8

km/h) or less in a circle until a

direction is displayed.

STEP

3

If there is not enough space to

drive in a circle, drive around the

block until the direction is dis-

played.

■Conditions unfavorable for correct operation

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following situations:

●The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.

●The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

●The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to

interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking

lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near

an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).

●The vehicle has become magnetized.

(There is a magnet or metal object near the anti-glare inside rear view

mirror.)

neighborhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling

calibration.

NOTICE

■To avoid compass malfunctions

Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the anti-glare inside rear

view mirror.

Doing this may cause a malfunction of the compass sensor.

■To ensure normal operation of the compass

●Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the

earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.

●During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-

dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
