Calibration procedure
The compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass direction when you are dri-
ving in certain areas (tunnel, parking
garage, underground parking lot, near
transformer substation, etc.), and the fol-
lowing may occur:
The compass headings become inac-
curate.
The compass heading doesn't change when the vehicle changes direction.
Some compass headings are not dis- played.
The compass headings are inaccurate in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows: 1. Move the vehicle away from any large
steel structures or power generating
cables or equipment.
2. Check the terrestrial deviation angle value by pressing and holding the
MODE button for 4.5 seconds until the
current terrestrial deviation angle
value appears in the display.
3. If the terrestrial deviation angle value is different for your country, set the cor-
rect angle referring to “Setting the
compass zone” and perform the
“Calibration procedure” again.
4. Make sure the vehicle windshield wipers are turned off. 5. Press and hold the MODE button
again for 2~4.5 seconds until the “turn”
appears and “DIR” blinks in the display
and release the button.
6. Drive your vehicle in at least 1 com- plete (either clockwise or counter-
clockwise) circle at less than 5 km/h (3
mph) within 10 minutes until the com-
pass heading appears.
7. If the vehicle’s compass headings become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If you press the MODE button before
the calibration is completed or the vehi-
cle is not rotated within 10 minutes after
“turn” appears and “DIR” blinks, the
correction will be cancelled.

NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
or ice on the windshield, defrost the
windshield for about 10 minutes, or
until the snow and/or ice is removed
before using the windshield wipers to
ensure proper operation.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end
of windshield glass senses the amount of
rainfall and controls the wiping cycle for
the proper intervals. The more it rains,
the faster the wiper operates. When the
rain stops, the wiper stops. To vary the
speed setting, turn the speed control
knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the ignition switch is ON, or the
speed control knob is turned toward the
upward position when the wiper switch is
in AUTO mode, wiper will operate once to
perform a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF position when the wiper
is not in use.

Maintenance
WIPER BLADES
Maintenance
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the wiper blades with foreign matter can
reduce the effectiveness of the wind-
shield wipers. Common sources of con-
tamination are insects, tree sap, and hot
wax treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not wip-
ing properly, clean both the window and
the blades with a good cleaner or mild
detergent, and rinse thoroughly with
clean water.
Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean ade-
quately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
Front windshield wiper blade
1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the wiperblade assembly to expose the plastic
locking clip.
1VQA5022
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperblades, do not use gasoline,kerosene, paint thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperarms or other components, do notattempt to move the wipers manual-ly.
CAUTION
The use of a non-specified wiperblade could result in wiper malfunc- tion and failure.

CAUTION
Do not allow the wiper arm to fallagainst the windshield, since it maychip or crack the windshield.
