NOTE
l As

the center information display only, the bright-
ness inside the meter cannot be changed.
Correcting the compass E00519400178
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.
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 vehicle.
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

completed, press the “SET” function button. Setting the compass
The compass is usually
calibrated
automatically
when the vehicle is moving. At times when com-
plete calibration is not possible, no compass indica-
tions are given. Manually set the compass using the
following procedure. NOTE
l If
your vehicle has a

sunroof, keep the sun-
roof closed when calibrating the compass.
Having the sunroof open when calibrating
the compass could render the compass un-
able to correctly show directions.
With a settings display showing, press the “ADJ”
button and select “COMPASS CALIBRATION”. 1. Press the function button for “SELECT”. 2. Press the function button for “SELECT”. 3. Turn the vehicle slowly through 360 degrees
