Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north
and geographical north is known as vari-
ance. In some areas, this difference can
sometimes be great enough to cause false
compass readings. Follow these instruc-
tions to set the variance for your particular
location if this happens:1. Press and hold the
button for
about 8 seconds. The current zone
number will appear in the display. Re-
lease the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map. Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the
button repeatedly to
toggle through the zone numbers until
the desired number appears in the dis-
play. Once you have selected a zone
number, the display will show a com-
pass direction within a few seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction
The compass display is equipped with au-
tomatic correction function. If the correct
direction is not shown, follow this proce-
dure. 1. With the display turned on, press and
hold the
for about 10 seconds.
The “C” icon in the compass display will
illuminate.
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at a
maximum speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
3. Af ter completing the circles, the display should return to normal.
CAUTION
∙ Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the
operation of the compass.
∙ When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it
may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.
