ROAD TEST

Compass Calibration





1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and push the "MODE" button to display the outside temperature on the multi-information display.





2. Push and hold both the "MODE" and "E/M" buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the "VAR" indicator appears on the compass display.

Then push the "E/M" button to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.





See the map for zone reference.

3. Check that the direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) appears several seconds after adjustment.





4. Start the engine and then push and hold both the "MODE" and "E/M" buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds until the "CAL" indicator appears on the compass display with the outside temperature displayed.

NOTE:
At this time, the compass display is locked in "N".





5. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less, in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is displayed.





When the "CAL" indicator goes off and the compass returns to the normal mode, calibration is complete.

NOTE:

^ Do not perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).

^ During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
