Tachometer
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the pointer of the tachometer in
the red zone. In this range, fuel injection will be cut by the enginecontrol module to protect the engine from overrevving. Theengine will resume running normally after the engine speed isreduced below the red zone.
The tachometer shows the engine speed in thousands of revolutions perminute. Outside temperature indicator (if equipped)
The outside temperature indicator shows the outside temperature in a
range from –22F to 122 F ( –30 C to 50 C).
The indicator can give a false reading under any of the following condi-tions: When there is too much sun.
During idling; while running at low speeds in a traffic jam; when the
engine is restarted immediately following a shutdown. When the actual outside temperature falls outside the specified indi-
cator range. For vehicles with an automatic climate control, outside temperature can be displayed on the climate control display panel. Refer to the“ Automatic climate control system ” in chapter 4.
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in thetank.
The gauge does not return to “E” even though the ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “LOCK” position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration dueto fuel level movement in the tank.

Photosensors
HB6020BA
The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the front and back
sides. If the glare from the headlights of vehicles behind you strikes
the mirror, these sensors detect it and make the reflection surface of
the mirror dimmer to help prevent you from being blinded. For this
reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other simi-
lar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. nCompass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessential electrical ac-
cessories (rear window defogger, heater/air conditioning system,
spotlight, etc.) and ensure all doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from large metallic objects or
structures and make certain the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then release, and thecompass will enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and direction will be
displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” disappears from the display
(about two or three circles).
5. The compass is now calibrated. Further calibration is not required.
The compass will automatically calibrate from this point forward.

Compass zone adjustment
HB6021AB
1. The zone setting is factory preset to Zone 8. Refer to the “Com-
pass calibration zone ” map shown above or one attached to the end
of this manual to verify that the compass zone setting is correct for your geographical location.
2. Press and hold the right button for 3 seconds then release, and the
word “ZONE” will briefly appear and then the zone number will be dis-
played.
3. Press the right hand button repeatedly to cycle the display through
all possible zone settings. Stop cycling when the correct zone settingfor your location is displayed.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will exit the zone setting mode.
Outside mirrors Convex mirror (Passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex mirror and farther away than
when viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use the convex mirror tojudge the distance of vehicles behind you when changing lanes.
Use the inside mirror (or glance backwards) to determine theactual size and distance of objects that you view in convex mir-
ror.

4-14ECON (economy) mode:
When you press the
“AUTO” switch while the system is in the AUTO
mode, it selects the ECON (economy) mode, turning on the“
ECON ” indicator light. In the ECON mode, the compressor runs to
be thrifty with energy consumption. Interior windows tend to fog in this
energy-saving operation. It is therefore recommended that the AUTOmode be used only in high humidity conditions. Manual mode operation:
When the Automatic Climate Control system is operating in the AUTO
mode, pressing the “
”, “”, “MODE”, “A/C” or
“
” switch shifts the operation into the “MANUAL” mode and the
indicator light “AUTO” on the control panel will go out.
When the “
”, “”, “MODE”, “A/C” or “”
switch is pressed, the corresponding function can be controlled inde-
pendently, while automatic control of the other functions are main-tained.
To change the system back to the AUTO mode, press the “AUTO”
switch. n OFF switch
The Automatic Climate Control system turns off (the air conditioner
compressor and fan turn off) when the “OFF” switch is pressed.
When the “OFF” switch is pressed, the outside air introduction mode
(“
” position) is automatically selected.
NOTE Display illumination dimness cancellation (BRIGHT): Setting the light switch to the “p ” or “ a ” position causes the
illuminating icons on the display panel to dim. When travelingwith the lights on in gloomy daylight or in twilight, press the OFFswitch for 1 second or longer if you feel it is too hard to identify
the icons clearly. The brightness comes back to normal.If you wish to dim the icons again, hold down the OFF switchagain or if you can safely do so, turn the light switch OFF andthen place it in the “p ” or “a ” position.

side air temperature as its normal indication if you keep the switch
pressed for more than 2 seconds. NOTE The outside air temperature display shows the outside air tem-
perature in a range from –22F to 131 F ( –30 C to 55 C).
You can check the outside air temperature even when the Au-
tomatic Climate Control is off. (The ignition switch should be in the “ON” position.)
In the following cases, the display can indicate a higher tem-
perature than the actual outside air temperature: – In direct sunlight
– When the vehicle is parked for a long period of time with the
engine kept running.– During stop and go driving
