CAUTION
■Burns
● Use caution when seating the following persons in a seat with the seat
heater on to avoid the possibility of burns:
• Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically chal-lenged
• Persons with sensitive skin
• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping drugs, cold remedies, etc.)
● Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.
Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature
of the seat and may lead to overheating.
● Do not use the seat heater more than necessary. Doing so may cause
minor burns or overheating.
NOTICE
■To prevent seat heater damage
Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do
not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
■
To prevent battery discharge
Turn the seat heaters off when the engine is not running.

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”.

clock. Then press the “H” or
“M” button, and referring to
the map above, select the
number of the zone where
you are.
Press the “INFO.” or “DISP” button.
If the direction is displayed for several seconds after adjustment, the
calibration is complete.

Circling calibration
If the direction display on the
compass flashes, circling cali-
bration needs to be performed.
Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press and hold the “INFO.”
or “DISP” button until a num-
ber (1 to 15) appears on the
clock, and press the
“RESET” button.
“- N -” appears on the direction
display.
Drive the vehicle at 8 km/h (5
mph) or less in a circle until a
direction is displayed.
If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the
block until a direction is dis-
played.

■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 multi-information display.)
● The battery has been disconnected.
● A door is open.

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 multi-information 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 (power windows etc.)
as they may interfere with the calibration.
