System Description
UNIFIED CONTROL METER
+Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge and water temperature gauge are controlled totally
by control unit combined with speedometer.
+Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.*
*The record of the odo meter is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter
is erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
+Odo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
+Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
Note: Sub fuel gauge is not controlled by the control unit.
HOW TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY FOR ODO/TRIP METER
Note: Turn ignition switch to the ``ON'' position to operate odo/trip meter.

Segment Check in Diagnosis Mode
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
+Odo/trip meter segment can be checked in diagnosis mode.
+Meters/gauges (except for sub fuel gauge) can be checked in
diagnosis mode.
HOW TO ALTERNATE DIAGNOSIS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch to ON and change odo/trip meter to ``TRIP
A'' or ``TRIP B''.
2. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
3. Turn ignition switch to ON when pushing odo/trip meter switch.
4. Con®rm that trip meter indicates ``000.0''.
5. Push odo/trip meter switch more than three times within 5 sec-
onds.
6. All odo/trip meter segments should be turned on.
NOTE: If some segments are not turned on, speedometer (uni-
®ed meter control unit) with odo/trip meter should be
replaced.
At this point, the uni®ed control meter is turned to diagnosis
mode.
7. Push odo/trip meter switch. Indication of each meter/gauge
should be as shown left during pushing odo/trip meter switch if
it is no malfunctioning.
NOTE: It takes about 1 minute for indication of fuel gauge to
become stable.

System Description
This unit displays the following items:
+Earth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
+Outside air temperature.
+Caution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ``ÉF''.
+Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ``ÉF'' to ``ÉC''.
+When the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
+When the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
+When the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ``- - -'' though it is operating. This is not a problem.
+The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAY
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ``ACC'' or ``ON'' position. The direction will be displayed.

a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated tem-
perature on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when
vehicle speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan
operation during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ``OFF'' position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
Calibration Procedure For Compass
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North
can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings.
In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone,
it must be calibrated using the following procedure.
1. Determine your location on the worldwide magnetic variation
map on next page. Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
3. Push the ``Mode'' switch continuously for ®ve seconds until the
current zone entry number is displayed.
4. Press the ``Mode'' switch repeatedly until the desired zone num-
ber is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the
``Mode'' switch and the display will show compass direction after a
few seconds.
CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction func-
tion. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correc-
tion.
INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the ``Mode'' switch for about 10 seconds will enter the
initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial cor-
rection is completed in one or two turns.
NOTE:
In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely
disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
