Initial Calibration Procedure





1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and push and hold the "E/M" button until "VAR" appears on the compass display.








2. Push the "E/M" button within 10 seconds of step 1 to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located. See the map below for zone reference.

3. Once the correct zone is selected, do NOT press the "E/M" button for 10 seconds to return to the compass mode.

4. Turn ignition switch OFF.





5. Start the engine and then push and hold the "E/M" button for about 15 seconds until "CAL" appears on the compass display. (At this time, the compass display is locked in "N.")





6. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less. If there is NOT enough space to drive in a circle, turn the car around as shown, doing two three-point turns in succession.

When "CAL" goes OFF and the compass returns to the normal mode, calibration is completed.

NOTE:
^ Do NOT perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference (underground parking" under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a 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.
