Calibrating the compass
The direction display deviates fr om the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies depending
on the geographic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the
compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to “Deviation calibra-
tion”.

Referring to the map above, press the “MODE/ ” or “SET/
” button to select the number of the zone you are in.
Press and hold the “SET/ ” button to confirm the number
and to exit deviation calibrati on mode. (If the button is pressed
for more than 6 seconds, th e number will automatically be
confirmed and the display returned to normal.)
Circling calibration
If “” appears on the left side of
the direction display, circling cali-
bration needs to be performed.
Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle. In deviation calibration mode
( P. 482), press and hold the
“MODE/ ” button to change to
circling calibration mode.
“ ” on the left side of the direction
display will blink.

pleting at least one full circle
within 20 - 120 seconds.
If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the
block until a direction is dis-
played.
Press and hold the “SET/ ” butt
on to confirm the direction
and to exit circling calibration mode. (If the button is pressed
for several minutes, the direction will automatically be con-
firmed and the display returned to normal.)
Make sure that “ ” on the left side of the direction display has
gone off. If “ ” is illuminated, perform the above procedure
again.

■ 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 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 near the accessory meter display.)
● The battery has been disconnected.
● A door is open.

Circling calibration error message (vehicles with Multi-terrain Select)
CAUTION
■While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
■ When doing the circling calibration
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the vicinity.
Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.
NOTICE
■To avoid compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the accessory meter dis-
play.
Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.
■ To ensure normal operation of the compass
● Do not perform a 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 (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
In the following situations, an error mes-
sage regarding the circling calibration will
appear on the accessory meter display
for a few seconds:
●The vehicle was driven too fast during
the circling calibration.
● The circling calibration was not com-
pleted successfully within about two
minutes.
