Segment Check in Diagnosis Mode
NBEL0200DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONNBEL0200S01IOdo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
IMeters/gauges can be checked in diagnosis mode.
HOW TO ALTERNATE DIAGNOSIS MODENBEL0200S021. Turn ignition switch to ON and change odo/trip meter to ªTRIP
Aº or ªTRIP Bº.
2. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch to ON when pushing odo/trip meter switch.
4. Push odo/trip meter switch 1 second.
5. Release odo/trip meter switch.
6. Push odo/trip meter switch more than three times within 7
seconds.
SEL176W
7. All odo/trip meter segments should be turned on.
NOTE:
If some segments are not turned on, unified meter control unit with
odo/trip meter should be replaced.
At this point, the unified control meter is turned to diagnosis
mode.
SEL177W
8. Push odo/trip meter switch. Indication of each meter/gauge
should be as shown left during pushing odo/trip meter switch
if it is no malfunctioning.
NOTE:
It takes about a few seconds for indication of fuel gauge and water
temperature gauge to become stable.

Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0048PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETERNBEL0048S02
1 COOL DOWN CHECK
1. Turn the ignition key switch to the ªACCº position.
2. Cool down the ambient air temperature sensor with water or ice, so that the indicated temperature falls.
Does the indicated temperature fall?
Ye s©GO TO 2.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
2 WARM UP CHECK
1. Leave the vehicle for 10 minutes, so that the indicated temperature rises.
2. With the ignition key in the ªACCº position, disconnect and reconnect the ambient air temperature sensor connector.
Does the indicated temperature rise?
Ye s©The system is OK.
No©The system is malfunctioning. Check the system following ªINSPECTION/COMPASS
AND THERMOMETERº.
NOTE:
IWhen 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 dis-
play shows only ª---º.
IThe 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 ªOFFº position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)

Calibration Procedure for Compass=NBEL0155The 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.
SEL738UA
SEL065V
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASSNBEL0155S01The 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 COMPASSNBEL0155S021. Pushing the ªModeº 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.

INITIAL CONDITION TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEMNBEL0120S02The operation of the theft warning system is controlled by the doors, hood and glass hatch.
To activate the theft warning system, the smart entrance control unit must receive signals indicating the doors,
hood and glass hatch are closed and the doors are locked.
When a door is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 28, 29 or 40 receives a ground signal from each
door switch.
When a door is unlocked, smart entrance control unit terminal 26, 36 or 37 receives a ground signal from ter-
minal 4 of each door unlock sensor or terminal 1 of back door unlock sensor.
When the hood is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 27 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 1 of the hood switch
Ithrough body grounds E13 and E41.
When the glass hatch is open, smart entrance control unit terminal 38 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 1 of the glass hatch switch
Ithrough body grounds D210, B11 and B22.
When the doors are locked with key or multi-remote controller and none of the described conditions exist, the
theft warning system will automatically shift to armed mode.
THEFT WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATION (WITH KEY OR REMOTE CONTROLLER USED TO
LOCK DOORS)
NBEL0120S03If the key is used to lock doors, terminal 41 receives a ground signal
Ifrom terminal 3 of the key cylinder switch LH
Ithrough back grounds M77 and M111
Ifrom terminal 1 of the back door key cylinder switch
Ithrough body grounds B11, B22 and D210.
If this signal or lock signal from remote controller is received by the smart entrance control unit, the theft
warning system will activate automatically.
Once the theft warning system has been activated, smart entrance control unit terminal 31 supplies ground to
terminal 2 of the security indicator lamp.
The security lamp will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds and then blink.
Now the theft warning system is in armed phase.
THEFT WARNING SYSTEM ALARM OPERATIONNBEL0120S04The theft warning system is triggered by
Iopening a door
Iopening the hood or the glass hatch
Iunlocking door without using the key or multi-remote controller.
Once the theft warning system is in armed phase, if the smart entrance control unit receives a ground signal
at terminal 26, 36, 37 (door unlock sensor), 28, 29, 40 (door switch), 38 (glass hatch switch) or 27 (hood
switch), the theft warning system will be triggered. The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
