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 compass
The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amount 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.

274 3-5. Other interior features
■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.)
●The battery has been disconnected.
■When disconnecting and reconnecting battery terminals
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
is stopped.
■When doing the circling calibration
Be sure to secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the
neighborhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling
calibration.

NOTICE
■To avoid the compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects on or near the accessory meter.
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 interference by artificial magnetic fields.
●During calibration, do not operate electric systems (power windows, etc.)
as they may interfere with the calibration.
