of the electric motor. When the needle is be-
tween the center and “charge” (
1range) , this
indicates that the electric motor is generating
power to recharge the Li-ion battery.
When the needle is between the center and the
PWR side, this indicates that the electric motor is
powering the drive wheels and the Li-ion battery
is discharging.Push the
button for about 1 second when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON position to
toggle the compass direction display

W: West
If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass by
driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at less
than 5 MPH (8 km/h).You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday route. The com-
pass will be calibrated once it has tracked 3
complete circles.

or thebutton repeat-
edly to toggle through the zone numbers
until the desired number appears in the dis-
play. Once you have selected a zone num-
ber, the display will show a compass direc-
tion within a few seconds.

The compass display is equipped with automatic
correction function. If the correct direction is not
shown, follow this procedure.
