The
compass
may not
show
the
correct
direction in the
following
conditions:
•
The
vehicle
is
stopped
immediately
af-
ter
turning. The
compass
does not ad-
just
while
the
vehicle
is stopped.
•
The
engine
switch
is turned
off
immedi-
ately
after
turning.
•
The
vehicle
is on an inclined surface.
• The
vehicle
is in a place where
the
earth's
magnetic field is
subject
to in-
terference
by artificial magnetic
fields
(underground parking,
under
a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near
a crossing,
near
a large vehicle,.
etc.).
•
The
vehicle
is magnetized. (There is a
magnet
or
a metal object on
or
near
the
multi-information
display.)
•
The
battery has been disconnected.
If
the
deviation is small, the
compass
works
to
calibrate
the direction automati-
cally
while
the
vehicle
is in motion.
For
obtaining additional precision
or
for
complete
calibrating, see "Calibrating
the
compass"
below.
NOTICE
Do
not
put
magnets
or
a
metal
object
near
the
multi-information
display.
Doing
so
may
cause malfunction
of
the compass sensor.
Calibrating the compass
(deviation calibration)
The
direction
display
on
the
compass
deviates
from the
true
direction
deter-
mined
by the
earth's
magnetic
field.
The
amount
of
deviation
varies
according
to
the
geographic
position
of
the
vehicle.
To
adjust
for
this
deviation,
stop
the
ve-
hicle
and push
the
"INFO." button
for
a
few
seconds
until the
number
(1-15)
ap-
pears
on the clock. Then push
the
"H"
or
"M" button, referring to
the
following
map
to
select
the
number
of
the
zone
where
the
vehicle
is.
