●

The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

●

The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to inter-
ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under
a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-
tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).

●

The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)
