Compass OperationOn models without navigation systemCompass operation can be affected
by driving near power lines or
stations, across bridges, through
tunnels, over railroad crossings, past
large vehicles, or driving near large
objects that can cause a magnetic
disturbance. It can also be affected
by accessories such as antennas and
roof racks that are mounted by
magnets.
Compass Calibration
If you see‘‘－－’’in the compass
display and‘‘CAL’’and‘‘
’’are
shown in the calendar display, the
compass is self-calibrating.
The compass may need to be
manually calibrated after exposure to
a strong magnetic field. If the
compass seems to be continually
showing the wrong direction and is
not self-calibrating, do the following.
1. Press and hold the SET button for
five seconds until the clock display
changes to‘‘ZON ? N.’’(Clock
adjustment mode will be started
after the first two seconds.)
2. Press the SET button.‘‘CAL ? N’’
will be displayed. At this point,
pressing the SET button will exit
calibration mode.3. Press the▼button.‘‘CAL ? Y’’will
be displayed.
4. Press the SET button. The
compass display will change to
‘‘－－’’and‘‘CAL’’and‘‘
’’are
shown.
5. Drive the vehicle slowly in two
complete circles.

6. When the display goes from
‘‘－－’’to an actual heading, the
unit is calibrated and the display
returns to normal.
NOTE:Do this procedure in an open
area, away from buildings, power
lines, and other vehicles.Compass Zone SelectionIn most areas, there is a variation
between magnetic north and true
north. Zone selection is required so
the compass can compensate for this
variation. To check and select the
zone, do this:
1. Press and hold the SET button for
five seconds until the clock display
changes to‘‘ZON ? N.’’(Clock
adjustment mode will be started
after the first two seconds.)
2. Press the▼button.‘‘ZON ? Y’’will
be displayed.
3. Press the SET button. The zone
the compass is currently in will be
displayed.4. Find the zone for your area on the
map.
5. If the zone is incorrect, press the
▼button to cycle the count down,
or the▲button to cycle the count
up. Once the correct zone is
displayed, continue to step 6.
6. Press the SET button to set the
zone selection.
7. Press and hold the SET button for
about 5 seconds to exit the zone
selection and return display to
normal.

4. If the temperature gauge stays at
the red mark, turn off the engine.
5. Look for any obvious coolant
leaks, such as a split radiator hose.
Everything is still extremely hot,
so use caution. If you find a leak, it
must be repaired before you
continue driving (seeEmergency
Towingon page 572).
6. If you do not find an obvious leak,
check the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. Add coolant
if the level is below the MIN mark.
7. If there was no coolant in the
reserve tank, you may need to add
coolant to the radiator. Let the
engine cool down until the pointer
reaches the middle of the
temperature gauge, or lower,
before checking the radiator.
Removing the radiator cap
while the engine is hot can
cause the coolant to spray out,
seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and
radiator cool down before
removing the radiator cap.
8. Using gloves or a large heavy
cloth, turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise, without pushing
down, to the first stop. After the
pressure releases, push down on
the cap, and turn it until it comes
off.9. Start the engine and set the
climate control to AUTO at‘‘Hi.’’
Add coolant to the radiator up to
the base of the filler neck. If you
do not have the proper coolant
mixture available, you can add
plain water. Remember to have the
cooling system drained and refilled
with the proper mixture as soon as
you can.
10. Put the radiator cap back on
tightly. Run the engine, and check
the temperature gauge. If it goes
back to the red mark, the engine
needs repair (seeEmergency
Towingon page 572).
11. If the temperature stays normal,
check the coolant level in the
radiator reserve tank. If it has gone
down, add coolant to the MAX
mark. Put the cap back on tightly.
