"
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
"
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
"
The battery has been disconnected.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to the “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating,
see “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below.
Compass sensor
The compass sensor is in the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. Doing this may cause
malfunction of the compass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation
calibration)
The direction display on the compass
deviates from the true direction deter-
mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The
angle of deviation varies according to the
geographic position of the vehicle.
To adjust this deviation, stop the vehicle,
then push and hold the “COMP” switch
until the zone number appears on the dis-
play. Then push the “COMP” switch, refer-
ring to the following map to select the
number of the zone where the vehicle is.
