Compass (if equipped)
The compass indicates the direction that the vehicle is heading.
■Operation
The compass points north for
about 3 seconds after the
engine switch is turned to the
ON position, and then indi-
cates the actual direction the
vehicle facing.
When the engine switch is
turned to the ACC or LOCK
position, it indicates the actual
direction for about 5 seconds
and then points in a random
direction.

Calibrating the compassThe direction display deviates fr om the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amoun t of deviation varies according
to the geographic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.
■Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press the SET button
until a number (1 to 15)
appears on the outside
temperature display.
Press the E/M button,
and referring to the map
above, select the num-
ber of the zone where
you are.

After calibration, leave the system for 6 seconds or press the
SET button for about 2 seconds.
If the display returns to the outside temperature display, the calibra-
tion is complete.
■
Circling calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press the SET button
until the zone number
appears on the outside
temperature display.
Push the SET button.
“– –” will start moving.
Drive the vehicle in a cir-
cle at 5 mph (8 km/h).
If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive
around the block until the
direction is displayed.
When the compass display
returns to the outside tem-
perature display, calibration
is complete.
When circling calibration fails, Er is displayed for 2 seconds and then COM-
PASS flashes. It also flashes when circling calibration is not completed.
If you want to cancel the calibration before it is complete, press the SET but-
ton for about 2 seconds.

■Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:
●The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
The compass does not adjust while the vehicle is stopped.
● The engine switch is turned off immediately after turning.
● The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
● The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking
lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near
an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).
● The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object on or near the accessory meter.)

COMPASS flashes and the compass is reset to its initial mode.
CAUTION
■ While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle

Doing this may cause a malfunction of the compass sensor.
■ To ensure normal operation of the compass
●Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in terference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (power windows, etc.)
as they may interfere with the calibration.
