VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) Calibrating the compass
The direction display deviates fr om the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amoun t 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. Samoa: 5 Guam: 8 Saipan: 8

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Push and hold “AUTO” until a
number (1 to 15) appears on the
compass display.
Press “AUTO”, and referring to the map above, select the
number of the zone where you are.
Wait a few seconds until the compass direction is displayed. The calibration is complete.
■ Circling calibration
If “C” appears on the display,
drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8 km/
h) or less in a circle until a direc-
tion is displayed. If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the
block until the direction is dis-
played.STEP 1

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ 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 inside rear view mirror.)
● The battery has been disconnected.
CAUTION■ While driving
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

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) NOTICE■ To avoid the compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.
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 inte rference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate elec tric systems (moon roof, power win-
dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
