Calibrating the compass
3-6. Other interior features
Samoa: 5 Guam: 8 Saipan: 8
The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s magnetic field. The amount 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 switch until VAR appears on the display.

Press the switch, and referring to the map above, select the number of the zone where you are.
If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the calibration is complete.

■ Circling calibration
Stop the vehicle where it is safe to drive in a circle.
Press the switch until CAL appears on the display.
At this time, the compass display is locked in N.
Drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less in a circle until the direction is displayed.
If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is displayed.
When CAL goes off and the compass display returns to the normal mode, calibration is complete.

■ Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:
● The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
The compass does not adjust while the vehicle is stopped.
● The engine switch is turned off immediately after turning.
● The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
● The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).
● The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object on or near the roof.)
● The battery has been disconnected.

NOTICE
■ To avoid the compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects on or near the roof.
Doing this may cause a malfunction of the compass sensor.
■ To ensure normal operation of the compass
● Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
