+Earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
+Outside air temperature.
+Caution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ``ÉF''.
+Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ``ÉF'' to ``ÉC''.
+When the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
+When the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
+When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ``- - -'' though it is operating. This is not a problem.
+The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)

a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated tem-
perature on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when
vehicle speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan
operation during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
Calibration Procedure For Compass
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
1. Determine your location on the worldwide magnetic variation
map on next page. Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
3. Push the ``Mode'' switch continuously for ®ve seconds until the
current zone entry number is displayed.
4. Press the ``Mode'' switch repeatedly until the desired zone num-
ber is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the
``Mode'' switch and the display will show compass direction after a
few seconds.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the ``Mode'' switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely
disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
