NOTICEPerform the calibration procedure for a
new vehicle as follows.Calibration procedureThe compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass direction when you are
driving in certain areas (tunnels, parking
garages, underground parking lots, near
transformer substations, etc.), and the
following may occur:
 The compass headings become inac-
curate.
 The compass heading doesn't change
when the vehicle changes direction.
 Some compass headings are not dis-
played.
 The compass headings are inaccurate
in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows:1. Move the vehicle away from any large
steel structures or power generating
cables or equipment and into a safe
open location, such as an abandoned
parking lot.
2. Check the terrestrial deviation angle
value by pressing and holding the
MODE button for 4.5 seconds until the
current terrestrial deviation angle
value appears in the display.
3. If the terrestrial deviation angle value
is different for your country, set the cor-
rect angle referring to “Setting the
compass zone” and perform the
“Calibration procedure” again.
4. Make sure the vehicle windshield
wipers are turned off.5. Press and hold the MODE button
again for 2~4.5 seconds until the “turn”
appears and “DIR” blinks in the display
and release the button.
6. Drive your vehicle in at least 1 com-
plete (either clockwise or counter-
clockwise) circle at less than 3 mph (5
km/h) within 10 minutes until the com-
pass heading appears.
7. If the vehicle’s compass headings
become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽ ✽
NOTICEIf you press the MODE button before
the calibration is completed or the vehi-
cle is not rotated within 10 minutes after
“turn” appears and “DIR” blinks, the
correction will be cancelled.

signal lever slightly and hold it in position.
The lever will return to the OFF position
when released.
If an indicator stays on and does not
flash or if it flashes abnormally, one of the
turn signal bulbs may be burned out and
will require replacement.✽ ✽
NOTICEIf an indicator flash is abnormally quick
or slow, a bulb may be burned out or
there may be a poor electrical connec-
tion in the circuit.
Front fog light (if equipped) Fog lights are used to provide improved
visibility and avoid accidents when visibil-
ity is poor due to fog, rain or snow etc.
The fog lights will turn on when the fog
light switch (1) is turned to ON after the

this mode in a light rain or mist. To
vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob(1). (S : slow
operation, F: fast operation)

until the snow and/or ice is removed
before using the windshield wipers to
ensure proper operation.
Auto control (if equipped)The rain sensor located on the upper end
of windshield glass senses the amount of
rainfall and controls the wiping cycle for
the proper intervals. The more it rains,
the faster the wiper operates. When the
rain stops, the wiper stops. To vary the
speed setting, turn the speed control
knob (1). (S : slow operation, F: fast oper-
ation.)
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the ignition switch is ON, or the
speed control knob is turned toward the
F position when the wiper switch is in
AUTO mode, wiper will operate once to
perform a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF position when the wiper
is not in use.

Driving your vehicle
Driving at night Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to remember:
 Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other driver's headlights.
 Keep your headlights clean and prop-
erly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming
feature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headlights will make it much more diffi-
cult to see at night.
 Avoid staring directly at the headlights
of oncoming vehicles. You could be
temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to read-
just to the darkness.
Driving in the rain Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not pre-
pared for the slick pavement. Here are a
few things to consider when driving in the
rain:
 A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
 Keep your windshield wiping equip-
ment in good shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windshield.
 If your tires are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. Be sure your tires are in
good shape.
 Turn on your headlights to make it eas-
ier for others to see you.
 Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
 If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking oper-
ation returns.
Driving in flooded areas Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
