Compass operation
When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position,
the vehicle’s current directional heading (N, NE, E, SE, S,
SW, W and NW) will be displayed.
Magnetic variation of compass
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
magnetic variation of compass. Magnetic variation of
compass is the difference between earth’s magnetic north
and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for
magnetic variation of compass, your compass could give
false readings.
To adjust for magnetic variation of compass
1. Press the display switch more than 9 seconds, less than
12 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the
display.

appears in the display. After 5 seconds of inactivity, the
original item (Outside temperature/Compass) displayed
again.
NOTE
• Do not attach ski racks, antennas, or any other object
to the vehicle by means of a magnet. Such magnets
will affect the operation of the compass.
• If the compass deviates from the correct indication
soon after repeated adjustment, have the compass
checked at an authorized dealer.
• The compass may not indicate the correct compass
point in the places shown below:
• Vehicles in tunnels or parked in buildings
• Expressways, near railroads, underneath railroad
cables, or over subways
• Near transformer stations or high voltage power
lines
In these cases, the correct direction will be displayed once
the vehicle returns to a place where the earth’s magnetic
field is stable.

To calibrate the compass
If the display reads “CAL” (A), there may be a strong
magnetic field interfering with the compass. In this case,
the compass may need calibration.
If the “CAL” is displayed, drive the vehicle in a circle at
about 5 mph (8km/h) or less until the “CAL” goes off.

If the “CAL” is not displayed, but compass calibration is
required, press and hold the display switch for 12 sec-
onds, or until “CAL” is displayed. With “CAL” dis-
played, drive the vehicle in a circle at less than 5mph
(8km/h) or less until the “CAL” goes off.
Cleaning of the mirror
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 that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Electric remote-controlled outside mirrors
The outside rearview mirrors can be adjusted when the
ignition key is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.
Place the lever to the same side as the mirror whose
adjustment is desired:

CRUISE/SPEED CONTROL
Cruise/speed control is an automatic speed control sys-
tem. It lets you keep the same driving speed. Cruise/
speed control can be used at 25mph (40km/h) or more. It
is especially useful for freeway driving. Cruise/speed
control does not work at speeds below about 25mph
(40km/h).

CAUTION!
• For safety reasons, the main switch (A) should be
set to the OFF position when you are not using the
cruise/speed control system.
• Cruise/speed control is not recommended when
driving conditions will not allow you to stay at the
same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, or slip-
pery, or on a steep downhill.
• For vehicles with manual transaxles, if you shift to
“N” (Neutral) in cruise/speed control mode with-
out pressing the clutch first, the engine will run
too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE
• Cruise/speed control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
• Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You must
use the accelerator if you want to stay at your set
speed.
• Your speed may increase to more than the set speed
on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to
control your speed. If your speed increases too
much, turn off the cruise/speed control. (Refer to
the section “To deactivate” on page 190.)
To activate
1. Momentarily push in the main switch (A) at the end of
the cruise/speed control lever.

procedure:
(1) The ignition key is turned OFF.
(2) The main switch is turned OFF.
TRACTION CONTROL (IF SO EQUIPPED)
On slippery surfaces, traction control system prevents the
drive wheels (front wheels) from excessive spinning,
during starting or while accelerating in turns on slippery
roads.
NOTE
• The traction control system functions at speeds
below about 25mph (40km/h).
• Some vibration will be felt in the vehicle body and a
whining sound of a motor will be heard from the
engine compartment when the traction control sys-
tem functions. This is a normal result of the traction
control system operation, and does not indicate a
malfunction.
Driving hints
1. Traction control system does not actively apply brakes.
Always decelerate the vehicle sufficiently before entering
corners or bends.
2. On snowy or icy roads, drive slowly using tire chains
or snow tires.
3. Never mix or use tires of different size since the
traction control system could function incorrectly and
make safe driving difficult.

Warning light
When the ignition key is turned to “ON”, the warning
light illuminate and go out after a few seconds.
CAUTION
• If the warning light illuminates, a malfunction
may have occurred in the system.
When this happens, have your vehicle checked at an
authorized dealer.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel
only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the
converter.
Under normal operating conditions the catalytic con-
verter does not require maintenance. However, it is
important to keep the engine properly tuned to assure
proper converter operation and prevent damage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION!
Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your
vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In
the event of an engine malfunction, particularly one
involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of
performance, have your vehicle serviced promptly.
Prolonged operation of your vehicle while it is
overheated may result in damage to the converter
and vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire
could occur.
• Undercoating should not be applied to the cata-
lytic converter.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam-
age:
1. Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type rec-
ommended in “Fuel selection”.
2. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running
out of fuel could damage the catalytic converter.
3. Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition
when the transaxle is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
4. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the
vehicle. If the battery is weak or discharged, use jumper
cables to properly start the engine.
5. Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires
disconnected or removed, such as when performing
diagnostic tests.
6. Do not idle the engine for prolonged periods if it is
idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning.
7. To prevent the catalytic converter from being dam-
aged due to unburned gas, do not race the engine when
turning off the ignition switch.
