Electric Azimuth Compass
It displays azimuth according to the
vehicle’s driving direction.
The indication is displayed only when
the vehicle is in motion.Correcting Azimuth Indicator
Position correction should be per-
formed if the displayed direction of
the vehicle differs from the actual
direction of the vehicle, or if the bat-
tery has been disconnected.1. Start the vehicle and access the
compass function indicated by
DRT on the display. Press the
MODE/SET button until the DRT
display begins to blink on and off.
2. Slowly (about 3 mph) and carefully
drive the vehicle in a complete 360
degree circle, within 128 seconds
(about two minutes).
3. After completing the circle drive,
the DRT display will stop blinking
and the error correction will be
complete.

The azimuth compass indicator
correction will be cancelled:
1. If you press MODE/SET switch for
more than 1 second while the DRT
display blinks.
2. When the vehicle is not rotated
within 128 seconds after the blink-
ing of the DRT display.Magnetic Declination Correction
The compass function provides bear-
ing (direction of travel) information to
the driver. It is known that a magnet-
ic compass does not point to true
(geographic) north. Magnetic north is
the direction in which a compass will
point. Over most of the earth surface,
a magnetic compass will point either
east or west of true north. In order to
compensate for this, magnetic decli-
nation must be taken into considera-
tion. Magnetic declination is the
angle between magnetic north and
true north.
Correcting declination
1. Turn the ignition key ON and
access the compass function indi-
cated by DRT on the display.
2. Press and hold the MODE/SET
button for four seconds. The dis-
play will change from a direction to
a number followed by an E or W.3. Press the UP or DOWN button to
select the degree of correction for
your location from the contour line
map. (example: Los Angeles,
California would be 15E.)
4. Press the MODE/SET button until
the display changes back to its
normal view.
The terrestrial deviation angle
correction will be cancelled:
1. If you press MODE/SET switch for
less than 1 second.
2. If you don't correct the terrestrial
deviation angle within 30 seconds.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-54✽ ✽
NOTICEThe azimuth may display abnor-
mally in specific places (tunnel,
parking lot in building, under-
ground parking lot, near trans-
former substation, etc.).
✽ ✽
NOTICEThe terrestrial deviation setting
will be remembered even if the bat-
tery has been disconnected.

Relative Altimeter
The relative altimeter displays the
current altitude to an actual altitude of
+/- 9800 feet.When you want to know the altitude
difference between your starting
point and destination:
1. Press the MODE/SET button until
the current altitude displayed is 0.
2. When you arrive at your destina-
tion, the altitude displayed will be
the difference between the starting
point and destination.
3. To change the display from feet to
meters, press the UP or DOWN
button for one second.Barometer
The barometer function displays
atmospheric pressure in hectopas-
cals. 1013 hPa is equivalent to 29.92
inches of mercury, or 14.7 psi. (air
pressure at sea level). The barome-
ter range is 600 to 1100 hPa.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-56

Air Conditioning System
Operation Tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of
windows on rainy humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air condi-
tioning system.
During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed at idle as the air conditioning
compressor cycles on. This is a
normal system operation charac-
teristics.
Use the air conditioning system
every month if only for a few min-
utes.After the use of the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even pudding) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristics.
The air conditioning system
includes a function that will auto-
matically turns the air conditioning
compressor off if engine coolant
temperature approaches an over
heating level. The air conditioning
compressor operation will resume
once engine coolant temperature
returns to the normal range. Also,
the air conditioning compressor is
automatically turned off for a few
seconds when the accelerator is
fully depressed.
When operating the air conditioning
system use the outside (fresh) air
position.Operating the air conditioning sys-
tem in the recirculated air position
does provide maximum cooling,
however, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE4-78

NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged
operation of the heating in recircu-
lated air position will cause fogging
of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger
compartment will become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated
air position” selected, will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
CAUTION
Continued climate control sys-
tem operation in the recirculat-
ed air position may allow
humidity to increase inside
vehicle which may fog the glass
and obscure visibility.
WARNING
Do not sleep in a vehicle with air
conditioning system or heating
system on. It may cause serious
harm or death due to a drop in
the oxygen level and/or body
temperature.

while defrosting or defogging, set
the mode selection knob to the
floor- defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield, rear win-
dow, outside rear view mirrors, and
all side windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the
hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to
improve heater and defroster effi-
ciency and to reduce the probabili-
ty of fogging up inside of the wind-
shield.How to cancel automatic outside
