●The battery has been disconnected.
●A door is open.
■Deviation
The direction display deviates from the
true direction determined by the
earth’s magnetic field. The amount of
deviation varies depending on the geo-
graphic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundar- ies shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect cali-
bration, refer to “D
eviation calibration”.

chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car
wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■Self-restoring coat
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from
when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
●The restoration time differs depending on
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature.
The restoration time may become
shorter when the coating is warmed by
applying warm water.
●Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
●Do not use wax that contain abrasives.
■Automatic car washes
