Calibration procedure
The compass may not indicate the cor-
rect compass direction when you are dri-
ving in certain areas (tunnel, parking
garage, underground parking lot, near
transformer substation, etc.), and the fol-
lowing 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. Move the vehicle away from any large
steel structures or power generating
cables or equipment.
2. Check the terrestrial deviation angle
value by pressing and holding the
MODE button for 4.5 seconds until the
current terrestrial deviation angle
value appears in the display.
3. If the terrestrial deviation angle value
is different for your country, set the cor-
rect angle referring to “Setting the
compass zone” and perform the
“Calibration procedure” again.
4. Make sure the vehicle windshield
wipers are turned off.5. Press and hold the MODE button
again for 2~4.5 seconds until the “turn”
appears and “DIR” blinks in the display
and release the button.
6. Drive your vehicle in at least 1 com-
plete (either clockwise or counter-
clockwise) circle at less than 5 km/h (3
mph) within 10 minutes until the com-
pass heading appears.
7. If the vehicle’s compass headings
become inaccurate again, repeat
steps 1 through 6 above.
✽
NOTICE
If you press the MODE button before
the calibration is completed or the vehi-
cle is not rotated within 10 minutes after
“turn” appears and “DIR” blinks, the
correction will be cancelled.

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 terres-
trial deviation angle value on the zone
map.
2. Press and hold the MODE button for
4.5 seconds. The current terrestrial
deviation angle value will appear in the
display.3. Release the MODE button and press
the RESET button repeatedly until the
correct terrestrial deviation angle value
for your location appears in the display.
4. Press and hold the MODE button for
more than 1 second, and then the dis-
play will show a compass direction.
✽
NOTICE
If you press the MODE button for less
than 1 second before new compass zone
is set, the correction is cancelled.
Also, if the correction is not completed
within 30 seconds, the current terrestri-
al deviation angle value will blink for 2
seconds and the correction is cancelled.
✽
NOTICE
1. 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.
2. If the compass deviates from the cor-
rect indication after repeated adjust-
ment, have the compass checked at an
authorized dealer.
3. 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.)

tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the
remaining distance is below 50 km (30
miles), a blinking “----” symbol will be dis-
played.
The meter’s working range is from 50 to
1500 km (30 to 1500 miles).
✽
NOTICE
• If the vehicle is not on level ground or
the battery power has been interrupt-
ed, the “Distance to empty” function
may not operate correctly.
The trip computer may not register
additional fuel if less than 6 liters (1.6
gallons) of fuel are added to the vehi-
cle.
• The fuel consumption and distance to
empty values may vary significantly
based on driving conditions, driving
habits, and condition of the vehicle.
• The distance to empty value is an esti-
mate of the available driving distance.
This value may differ from the actual
driving distance available.
Driving time (“ET” shown on dis-
play)
This mode indicates the total time trav-
eled since the last driving time reset.
Even if the vehicle is not in motion, the
driving time keeps going while the engine
is running.
The meter’s working range is from
0:00~99:59.
Pressing the RESET button for less than
4 seconds, when the driving time is being
displayed, clears the driving time to zero.

Average fuel consumption (“AVG”
shown on display)
This mode calculates the average fuel
consumption from the total fuel used and
the distance since the last average con-
sumption reset. The total fuel used is cal-
culated from the fuel consumption input.
For an accurate calculation, drive more
than 500 m (0.3 miles).
The meter's working range is from 0.0 to
99.9l/100 km (0.0 to 99.9 miles per gal-
lon).
Pressing the RESET button for less than
4 seconds, when the average fuel con-
sumption is being displayed, clears the
average fuel consumption to “- -” until the
vehicle is moved to 500 m (0.3 miles).

The unit on each mode can be changed
by pushing the RESET button for more
than 4 seconds as follows:
• Distance to empty: km ↔ MI
• Average fuel consumption:l/100km↔
MPG
• Outside temperature: °C ↔ °F
The units on the mode of distance to
empty and average fuel consumption are
changed together. However, the outside
temperature mode display units are
changed separately.
