When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position, the
display turns on automatically.NOTEPutting a cellular phone in the monitor’s small storage
compartment may weaken the phone’s reception. This is
typical and does not mean that something is wrong with
the system.
Use of wireless devices such as transceivers near the mon-
itor may make the screen go dark temporarily. This is typ-
ical and does not mean that something is wrong with the
system.

Outside temperature
N00522300079
This value (A) shows the temperature of outside the vehicle.NOTEThe outside temperature is not shown with the calendar
and digital clock display or with the digital clock display.
The unit for the outside temperature can be set to °F or to
°C. Refer to “Outside temperature unit” on page 3-121.
The outside temperature can be displayed from -40 °F
(-40°C) to 122 °F (50 °C).
When the outside temperature is over 122 °F (50 °C) or
below -40 °F (-40 °C), the display will remain 122 °F
(50°C) or -40 °F (-40 °C).
The outside temperature displayed may differ from the
actual temperature on account of surrounding conditions,
driving conditions, etc.
Road surface freeze warning
N00535300086
When the outside temperature indication drops to 37 °F (3 °C)
or lower, the road surface freeze warning symbol (B) flashes
for approximately 30 seconds then comes on steadily.
When the outside temperature indication subsequently rises to
43 °F (6 °C) or higher, the symbol goes off.
CAUTION
!There is a danger the road might be icy, even when
this symbol is not illuminated, so please take care
when driving.

NOTEThe electronic compass may not show the correct direc-
tion in the following places where the earth’s magnetic
field is disrupted.
In these cases, the correct direction will be displayed once
the vehicle returns to a place where the earth’s magnetic
field is stable.
• Vehicle in tunnels or parked in buildings
• Expressways, near railroads, underneath railroad cables,
or over subways
• Near transformer stations or high voltage power lines
Do not attach ski racks, antennas, or any other object to
the vehicle by means of a magnet.
Such magnets will affect the operation of the electronic
compass.
Compass varianceUnder certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-
country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass vari-
ance.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s mag-
netic north and the true geographic north. If not adjusted to
account for this compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.
Refer to “Compass zone code setting” on page 3-131.Compass direction adjustmentThis compass is self-calibrating, which means it automatically
makes corrections against magnetization of its components
when the vehicle is running. It should not be necessary to man-
ually calibrate the compass. If the indicated direction appears
to be wrong, first check the compass variance.
If the compass variance is correct, but the compass still shows
the wrong direction, calibrate the compass as described.
Refer to “Compass calibration” on page 3-133.
