Correcting the compass* E00519400110
This compass shows the direction of the vehicle by
the 8 azimuth system.NOTE
l This
system uses

the earth’s magnetic field,
and so may not show the correct direction de-
pending on the traffic condition or in the fol-
lowing places where the earth’s magnetic
field is disrupted. • Car parks located in buildings and tunnels
• Expressways and underground cables
• Area over the subway
• Transforming station
• Areas along the railroad
In these cases, the correct direction will be
displayed once the vehicle returns to a place
where the earth’s magnetic field is stable. l
Do
not
install
ski racks, antennas, etc. which
are attached to the vehicle by means of a mag-
net. They affect the operation of the compass.
l On vehicles equipped with the MITSUBISHI
Multi Communication System (MMCS),
even though the compass setting display is
shown, correcting the compass will not be
possible.
Setting the declination
The declination is the difference between true
north (the direction of the geographic north pole)
and where a compass needle points to. Since the dec-
lination varies from place to place, it needs to be
set for each region. Otherwise the compass will not
show the correct direction.
Set the declination by the following steps: NOTE
l The
default declination

setting is 0 degrees.
In accordance with the illustration, set the dec-
lination setting to the declination contour near-
est to a region where you drive the vehicule. l
The declination
can
be set at intervals of
1 degrees, from 28 degrees west (W28) to
28 degrees east (E28).
With a settings display showing, press the “ADJ”
button and select “COMPASS VARIANCE”. 1. Press the function button for “SELECT”. 2. Press the function button for “←” or “→” to
set the desired declination.

Pressing “←”

or “→” for more than 1 sec-
ond makes the value change rapidly. Instruments and controls
