3. Setting the compass zone1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the button for more than
6 but less than 9 seconds. The current
zone number will appear in the display.
3. Press the button until the new zone
number appears in the display. After
you stop pressing the button in, the
display will show a compass direction
within a few seconds.

4. Changing Mirror Angle setting
(If Installed):Due to mirror positions being angled to-
wards the driver, the compass mirror can
also compensate for drivers seated on the
Left Hand side of the vehicle (steering
wheel on the LH side of the vehicle) or
Right Hand side of the vehicle (steering
wheel on the RH side of the vehicle).
To adjust the Left Hand, “L” or Right Hand,
“R”, setting:
1. Press and hold the button for more than
12 seconds.
2. Release then press the button to toggle
between “L” and “R”.NOTE:This procedure also causes the com-
pass to be de-calibrated.
3. To re-calibrate the compass, drive the
vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than
8km/h (5mph).
CAUTION:
1. Do not install the ski rack, antenna,
etc. which are attached to the vehicle
by means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
2. If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication soon after repeated
adjustment, have the compass
checked at an authorized dealer.
3. The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle
moves to an area where the geomag-
netism is stabilized.)
4. When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as that
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

CAUTION:
The engine should not be turned off or the
key removed from the ignition key cylin-
der while the car is in motion. The steer-
ing wheel is locked by removing the key.
!
o "START"The engine is started in this position. It will
crank until you release the key.NOTE:Do not hold the key in the "START" posi-
tion for more than 15 seconds.

o "ON"When the key is in the "ON" position, the
ignition is on and all accessories may be
turned on. If the engine is not running, the
key should not be left in the "ON" position.
This will discharge the battery and may
also damage the ignition system.o "ACC"With the key in the "ACC" position, some
electrical accessories (radio, etc.) may be
operated.o "LOCK"The key can be removed or inserted in this
position.
To protect against theft, the steering wheel
locks by removing the key.NOTE:If difficulty is experienced turning the
ignition switch to the ACC position, turn
the key while turning the steering wheel
right and left to release the tension.

WARNING:
o Always buckle-up! In a collision, an
unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously injured or
killed than a properly belted occu-
pant.
o Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply. In-
stead, slow down before pulling back
into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed limits.

C070D04O-AATGood Driving Practiceso Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazard-
ous. Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. In-
stead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
o Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into reverse.
The transaxle can be damaged if you do
not. To shift into reverse, depress the
clutch, move the shift lever to neutral,
wait three seconds, then shift to the
reverse position.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an
abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.o Optimum vehicle performance and
economy is obtained by smoothly de-
pressing and releasing the accelerator
pedal.

C090N05O-AATGood Driving Practiceso Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into
"P" when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped
before you attempt to shift into "R" or "D".
o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This may be extremely
hazardous. Always leave the car in gear
when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction. In-
stead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not
depend on placing the transaxle in "P"
to keep the car from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface, an
abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.

o Never exceed posted speed limits. o Optimum vehicle performance and

CAUTION:
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to
rock the vehicle free by moving it for-
ward and backward. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the rock-
ing operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury to nearby people
or damage to objects.

WARNING:
ABS / TCS / ESC will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous driv-
ing maneuvers. Even though vehicle
control is improved during emergency
braking, always maintain a safe distance
between you and objects ahead. Vehicle
speeds should always be reduced dur-
ing extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system / TCS /
ESC may be longer than for those with-
out it in the following road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS / TCS /
ESC equipped vehicle should not be
tested by high speed driving or corner-
ing. This could endanger the safety of
yourself or others.
TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM (TCS)C300A03Y-GAT(If installed)
C300A01JM-U
On slippery road surfaces, the traction
control system (TCS) limits the drive wheels
from spinning excessively, thus helping
the car to accelerate. It also helps to pro-
vide sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the car turns.SLIP ControlLimits the drive wheels from spinning ex-
cessively during starting or while making
accelerated turns on slippery roads to avoid
losing the driving force of the front wheels.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(ABS)C120A01JM-AAT(If installed)The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is de-
signed to prevent wheel lock-up during
sudden braking or on hazardous road
surfaces. The ABS control module moni-
tors the wheel speed and controls the
pressure applied to each brake. Thus, in
emergency situations or on slick roads,
ABS will increase vehicle control during
braking.NOTE:o A click sound may be heard in the
engine compartment when the ve-
hicle begins to move after the engine
is started. These conditions are nor-
mal and indicate that the anti-lock
brake system / Traction Control Sys-
tem / Electronic Stability Control is
functioning properly.
o During ABS / TCS / ESC operation, a
pulsation may be felt in the brake
pedal when the brakes are applied.
Also, a noise may be heard in the
engine compartment while braking.
These conditions are normal and indi-
cate that the anti-lock brake system
/ Traction Control System / Electronic
Stability Control System is function-
ing properly.
