Calibration procedure
The compass may not indicate the cor- rect compass direction if the electronic
compass has not been calibrated cor-
rectly, if the compass zone number is dif-
ferent for your current location, or when
you are driving in certain areas (tunnel,
parking garage, underground parking lot,
near transformer substation, etc.), and
the following may occur:
The compass headings become inac-curate.
The compass heading doesn't change when the vehicle changes direction.
Some compass headings are not dis- played.
The compass headings are inaccurate in long distance driving.
If the vehicle's compass headings
become inaccurate continuously, the
compass should be manually calibrated
as follows: 1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories
(rear window defroster, climate controlsystem, audio system and windshield
wiper, etc.) and close all doors.
2. Move the vehicle to a safe and large place away from any large steel struc-
tures or power generating cables orequipment.
3. Turn on the compass function, and press and hold the COMPASS button
(2) for about 3 seconds until the
"ZONE" appears in the display.
Release the button and the zone num-
ber will appear in the display. If the zone number is different for your
current location, set the correct zone
number referring to "Setting the compass
zone" and perform the "Calibration pro-cedure" again.

4. With the compass heading displaying
normally, press and hold the button
(2) again for about 6~7 seconds untilthe "CAL" appears and release the
button.
5. Drive your vehicle in at least 2~3 com- plete circle (either clockwise or coun-
terclockwise) at less than 5 mph (8
km/h) until the "CAL" disappears, andthe compass heading appears then
calibration will be complete. If the compass mirror does not recog-
nize the terrestrial magnetism correct-
ly depending on the external circum-
stances, it may be delayed in the cal-
ibration procedure.
6. If the vehicle's compass headings become inaccurate again, repeat
above steps. Setting the compass zone
This compass must be set to compen-
sate for the variation between true north
and magnetic north. To set variation:
1. Find your current location and vari-
ance zone number on the zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMPASS button (2) for about 3 seconds until the
"ZONE" appears in the display, and
release the button. Then the zone
number will appear in the display.
3. Press the button (2) repeatedly until the correct zone number for your loca-
tion appears in the display. 4. If the desired zone number is selected,
release the button (2). After about 3
seconds, the "ZONE" disappears and
a compass direction will be shown in
the display.
5. If the new compass zone is set, per- form the "Calibration procedure".
✽✽ NOTICE
 Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc. that is attached to the vehicle using a
magnet as anything attached to the
roof of the vehicle with a magnet will
effect compass operation.
 If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication after repeated adjust-
ment, have the compass checked at an
authorized dealer.
 The compass may not indicate the
correct compass point in tunnels or
while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct
compass point when the vehicle moves
to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.)

Conversation mirror (if equipped)
The mirror is a convenient feature to help the front passenger talk with rear pas-
sengers without turning the head or body
rearward.
To use the mirror, push the cover and open it. Adjust mirror angle to the desired posi- tion.
Close the cover after use. D140200AUN
Outside rearview mirror
Be sure to adjust mirror angles before
driving.
Your vehicle is equipped with both left-
hand and right-hand outside rearview
mirrors. The mirrors can be adjusted
remotely with the remote switch. The mir-
ror heads can be folded back to prevent
damage during an automatic car wash or
when passing in a narrow street.
WARNING
Do not adjust the mirror angle or
talk with rear passengers for a long
time while driving. You may lose
your steering control and cause an
accident that results in severe per-
sonal injury or death.

Remote control
The electric remote control mirror switch
allows you to adjust the position of the
left and right outside rearview mirrors. To
adjust the position of either mirror, push
the switch (1) to R or L to select the right
side mirror or the left side mirror, thenpress a corresponding point on the mirroradjustment control to position the select-
ed mirror up, down, left or right.
After adjustment, put the switch into neu-
tral (center) position to prevent the inad-
vertent adjustment.
WARNING - Rearview mir-
rors
The right outside rearview mirror is convex. In some countries, the
left outside rearview mirror is
also convex. Objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they
appear.
Use your interior rearview mirror or direct observation to deter-
mine the actual distance of fol-
lowing vehicles when changinglanes.
CAUTION
Do not scrape ice off the mirror
face; this may damage the surface of the glass. If ice should restrict
movement of the mirror, do notforce the mirror for adjustment. Toremove ice, use a deicer spray, or asponge or soft cloth with very warm
water.
CAUTION
If the mirror is jammed with ice, donot adjust the mirror by force. Use
an approved spray de-icer (not radi-ator antifreeze) to release thefrozen mechanism or move the vehicle to a warm place and allow
the ice to melt.
WARNING
Do not adjust or fold the outside
rearview mirrors while the vehicle
is moving. This could result in loss
of control, and an accident which
could cause death, serious injury
or property damage.OEN047037

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the approxi-
mate number of engine revolutions per
minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the correct
shift points and to prevent lugging and/or
over-revving the engine. When the door is open, or if the engine is
not started within 1 minute, the tachome-
ter pointer may move slightly in ON posi-
tion with the engine OFF. This movement
is normal and will not affect the accuracy
of the tachometer once the engine is run-ning.D150203AEN-EE
Engine temperature gauge
This gauge shows the temperature of the
engine coolant when the ignition switchis ON.
Do not continue driving with an overheat-
ed engine. If your vehicle overheats, refer
to “If the engine overheats” in section 6.

CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves beyond
the normal range area toward the“130°C/H” position, it indicates
overheating that may damage theengine.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine within the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine dam-age.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the approxi- mate amount of fuel remaining in the fueltank.
The fuel tank capacity is given in sec-
tion 8.The fuel gauge is supplemented by
a low fuel warning light, which will illumi-
nate when the fuel tank is near empty.
On inclines or curves, the fuel gauge
pointer may fluctuate or the low fuel
warning light may come on earlier than
usual due to the movement of fuel in thetank.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The enginecoolant is under pressure and
could cause severe burns. Wait
until the engine is cool before
adding coolant to the reservoir.
OEN049048L
WARNING - Fuel gauge
Running out of fuel can expose
vehicle occupants to danger.
You must stop and obtain addition-
al fuel as soon as possible after thewarning light comes on or when the
gauge indicator comes close to the
“0/E” level.
Type A Type B
CAUTION
Avoid driving with a very low fuel level. If you run out of fuel, it couldcause the engine to misfire and
result in excessive loading of thecatalytic converter.
