[VDC/TCS/ABS]
PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45

If there is a radio, antenna, or antenna lead-in wire (including wiring) near control module, VDC/TCS/ABS
function may have a malfunction or error.

If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness
pinches, open circuits, and improper wiring.

If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or converted, VDC OFF indicator
lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorber, strut, spring, bushing, etc.), Tires, wheels (exclude specified size),
components related to brake (pad, rotor, caliper, etc.), components related to engine (muffler, ECM, etc.),
components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).

Driving in the condition of breakage or excessive wear of suspension, tires or components related to the
brakes may cause VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn on, and the VDC system may
not operate properly.

When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The
noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.

When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as
sharp carves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate normally, or VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP
indicator lamp may turn on. However, this is not a malfunction, if normal operation can be resumed after
restarting engine.

Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC OFF
SW ON) may cause the G sensor system indicate a malfunction. However, this is not a malfunction, if nor-
mal operation can be resumed after restarting engine.

Change 4 tires at a time. Be sure to use specified-size tires that have the same brand name and pattern.
Wheel sensor errors can be detected be self-diagnosis when tires have wide abrasion variations or the
size is different from the genuine tires.

Precautions for CompassNKS003HQ
NOTE:

Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc. which is attach to the vehicle with a magnet base. It affects the
operation of the compass.

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as it may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
System DescriptionNKS003HR

This electronic compass is able to display 8 primary directions:
N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

The inside mirror switch (2) is used to operate the compass and
automatic anti-glare system.
Switch Operation
NOTE:
For further details of the compass and automatic anti-glare system, refer to Owner's Manual

All standard compasses determine direction relative to Magnetic North; however, this electronic compass
is designed to display direction relative to True North.

The difference between Magnetic North and True North varies from place to place across the surface of
the earth.

This electronic compass must be “told” approximately where it is on the earth’s surface so that the Mag-
netic North reading can be properly converted into a True North display.

To tell the electronic compass where it’s at, the earth is separated into numbered “Zone Variances”. The
Zone Variance number in which the compass is to function must be entered into this electronic compass.

Each zone is magnetically about 4.2 ° wide. Typically, anything under 22.5 ° total zone change is not
noticed on the electronic compass display. However, over 22.5 °, a reading may be off by one or more pri-
mary directions.

On long trips, a vehicle may leave its original zone and enter one or more new zones. Generally, you do
not need to reset the compass zone if you travel between 3 or 4 zones, such as business travel or vaca-
tion. The typical driver will not notice any difference on the display within 3 or 4 zones. However, if the
vehicle is “permanently” moved to a new location, it is recommended that the compass zone be reset.
