compass should be manually cali-
brated as follows:
1) Move the vehicle away from any
large steel structures or power
generating cables or equipment.
2) Turn on the compass by pressing
the COMP button.
3) Check the zone number by press-
ing the COMP button for more
than 4 seconds until the current
zone number appears in the dis-
play. To re-calibrate, hold the
COMP button for 3 seconds until
C is displayed.
If the zone number is different for
your country, set the correct zone
number referring to "Setting the
compass zone" and perform the
"Calibration procedure" again.4) Make sure the vehicle windshield
wipers are turned off.
5) Drive your vehicle in at least 2
complete (either clockwise or
counter-clockwise) circles at less
than 8 km/h (5 mph) until the com-
pass heading appears. Driving in
a circle in right-handed direction
and opposite direction is possible
and if possible, stop the wiper
operation.
6) If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽ ✽
NOTICEIf new vehicle is first driven or if the
battery has been disconnected, do
the calibration procedure as above.
Setting the compass zoneThis compass must be set to com-
pensate for the variation between
true north and magnetic north. To set
variation:
1. Find your current location and
variance zone number on the zone
map.
2. Press the COMP button for more
than 4 seconds. The current zone
number will appear in the display.

Stalling while driving uphill
What should I do if my vehicle stalls,
or is about to stall, and I can’t make
it up the hill?If your vehicle stalls, or is about to
stall while driving uphill, there are
some things you should do, and
there are some things you must not
do. First, here’s what you should do:
Push the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle and keep it from rolling
backwards. Also, apply the parking
brake.
If your engine is still running, shift
the transaxle into reverse, release
the parking brake, and slowly back
down the hill in reverse. If your engine has stopped run-
ning, you’ll need to restart it. With
the brake pedal depressed and the
parking brake still applied, shift a
manual transaxle to N (Neutral), or
an automatic transaxle to P (Park)
and restart the engine. Then, shift
to reverse, release the parking
brake, and slowly back down the
hill in reverse.
As you are backing down the hill,
put your left hand on the steering
wheel at the 12 o’clock position.
This way, you’ll be able to tell if
your wheels are straight or turned
to the left or right as you back
down.Here are some things you must not
do if you stall, or are about to stall,
when going up a hill.
Never attempt to prevent a stall by
depressing the clutch or shifting to
N (Neutral) to “rev-up” the engine
and regain forward momentum.
This won’t work. Your vehicle will
roll backwards very quickly and
you could go out of control or roll
over.
Instead, apply the brake to stop the
vehicle. Then apply the parking
brake. Shift into reverse, release the
parking brake, and slowly back
down.
