about 3 seconds after the
engine switch is turned to the
ON position, and then indi-
cates the actual direction the
vehicle facing.
When the engine switch is
turned to the ACC or LOCK

direction for about 5 seconds
and then points in a random
direction.

Calibrating the compassThe direction display deviates fr om the true direction determined by
the earth’s magnetic field. The amoun t of deviation varies according
to the geographic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.
■Deviation calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press the SET button
until a number (1 to 15)
appears on the outside
temperature display.
Press the E/M button,
and referring to the map
above, select the num-
ber of the zone where
you are.

Drive the vehicle in a cir-
cle at 5 mph (8 km/h).
If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive
around the block until the
direction is displayed.
When the compass display
returns to the outside tem-
perature display, calibration
is complete.
When circling calibration fails, Er is displayed for 2 seconds and then COM-
PASS flashes. It also flashes when circling calibration is not completed.
