The direction display deviates from 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 com-
pass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to “Deviation calibra-
tion”.

Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle.
Change the accessory meter display to deviation calibration
mode by doing the following.
When the parking lights are
turned on:
Press and hold the “MODE/ ”
button.
A number (1 to 15) will appear
on the display.
When the parking lights are off:
In accessory meter light control
mode ( P. 90), press and hold
the “MODE/ ” button.
A number (1 to 15) will appear
on the display.
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 calibration mode. ( If the button is pressed for more
than 6 seconds, the num ber will automatically be confirmed and the
display returned to normal.)

Circling calibration
If “
” appears on the left side of
the direction display, circling
calibration needs to be per-
formed.
Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.
In deviation calibration mode
( P. 337), press and hold
the “MODE/ ” button to
change to circling calibration
mode.
“ ” on the left side of the direc-
tion display will blink.
Drive the vehicle in a circle
completing at least one full
circle within 20 - 120 sec-
onds.
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/ ” button to confirm the direction and
to exit circling calibration mode. (If the button is pressed for sev-
eral minutes, the direction will automatically be confirmed 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 inter-
ference by artificial magnetic fiel ds (underground car park/parking lot, under
a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-
tion, 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
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.
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 inte rference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

6-1. Maintenance and care
●Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wate rproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi cle. Start washing from the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
● In certain automatic car washes, the roof antenna (if equipped) or rear
spoiler may interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehicle
from being cleaned properly or result in damage to the antenna or rear
spoiler.
■ High pressure car washes
●Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
■ Aluminum wheels (if equipped)
●Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical clean-
ers.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
● Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after
driving for long distance in the hot weather.
● Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
