The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially se\
t for the zone to which the car
was delivered, and should always be adjusted if the car is driven to a n\
ew magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened pape\
rclip or similar object for
approximately 3 seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the curre\
nt magnetic zone will also be
displayed.
- Press the button repeatedly until the number for the desired zone (1-\
15) is displayed.
After several seconds, the compass heading will again be displayed, and \
the change of magnetic zones is
complete.
Calibrating the compass
- Stop the car in a large, open area, away from traffic.
- Turn off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid in\
terference with the compass (e.g.
audio system, etc).
- Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at \
least 6 seconds. "CAL" will be
displayed.
- Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) unt\
il CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be done by driving normally until CAL is no longer d\
isplayed. Calibration is
complete.

Temperature
These controls are used to individually set the temperature for both sid\
es of the passenger compartment.
Please note that the compartment will not be heated or cooled faster by \
setting the temperature higher or lower
than necessary.
