Calibrating the compass  
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 illustration, the compass will  
deviate.  
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.  
Deviation calibration  
1
Stop the vehicle.  
2
Press and hold “AUTO” for 6  
seconds.  
A number (1 to 15) appears on  
the compass display.  
3
Press the switch and referring to the map above, select the num-  
ber of the zone where you are.  
If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the cali-  
bration is complete.

Conditions unfavorable to correct operation  
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:  
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 inter-  
ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under  
a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-  
tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).  
The vehicle has become magnetized.  
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)  
The battery has been disconnected.  
A door is open.  
CAUTION  
While driving the vehicle  
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is  
stopped.  
When doing the circling calibration  
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neigh-  
borhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling cali-  
bration.  
NOTICE  
To avoid compass malfunctions  
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.  
Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.  
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.
