Correcting the compass
*
E00519400080
This compass shows the directi
on of the vehicle by the 8 azi-
muth system.
NOTE●
This system uses the earth’s magnetic field, and so may not show the correct direction depending on the traffic condition or in the following places where the earth’s magnetic field is disrupted.· Car parks located in buildings and tunnels · Expressways and underground cables · Area over the subway· Transforming station · Areas along the railroad In these cases, the correct dir
ection will be displayed once
the vehicle returns to a place where the earth’s magnetic field is stable.
●
Do not install ski racks, ante
nnas, etc. which are attached
to the vehicle by means of a ma
gnet. They affect the oper-
ation of the compass.
●
On vehicles equipped with the Mitsubishi Multi Commu- nication System (MMCS), even though the compass set- ting display is shown, correcting the compass will not be possible.

Setting the declination The declination is the difference
between true north (the direc-
tion of the geographic north po
le) and where a compass needle
points to. Since the declination
varies from place to place, it
needs to be set for each region
. Otherwise the compass will not
show the correct direction. Set the declination by the following steps:NOTE●
The default declination settin
g is 0 degrees. In accordance
with the illustration, set the declination setting to the dec- lination contour nearest to a region where you drive thevehicle.

intervals of 1 degrees, from
28 degrees west (W28) to 28 degrees east (E28).
