INITIALIZATION

The initialization procedures are below the table.

1.

DESCRIPTION
NOTICE:
Do not place magnetic or metal objects on or near
the accessory meter.
HINT:
The procedures described below are for vehicles
equipped with an accessory meter.
(a) The location of magnetic north differs depending on

the vehicle location. Adjustment of the compass'
magnetism is required to correct possible compass
deviations from true north.

(b) Compass function calibration is necessary when: 1)

purchasing a vehicle; 2) disconnecting and
reconnecting the cable of the negative (-) battery
terminal; 3) replacing the vehicle battery; 4) driving
the vehicle outside the set zone (see the zone map
below); or 5) placing magnetic or metal objects near
the accessory meter (the direction indication on the
display blinks).

2.

PERFORM CALIBRATION
CAUTION:
•

Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws
and road conditions.

•

Make sure no people are near the vehicle.

NOTICE:
•

Perform the circling calibration in a spacious area
that does not have artificial magnetic influence.
Calibration cannot be performed in underground
parking lots, areas under steel towers and areas
between tall buildings.

•

When performing the calibration, do not operate
the air conditioner, power windows, or any other
electrical system.

•

The compass may become magnetized during
shipping by vessels or freight cars. Be sure to
calibrate the compass by correctly performing the
procedure described below. If the calibration
cannot be completed despite the vehicle being
driven in a circle several times, the vehicle's
magnetic field may be interfering with the
calibration. Demagnetize the vehicle using a
demagnetizer and perform calibration again.

(a) DEVIATION CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.

HINT:
When the initial circling calibration has not yet
been performed, the COMPASS indicator in the
outside temperature display blinks.

(2) Switch the mode to compass correction mode by

pushing the SET button for about 2 seconds,
until the zone number appears in the outside
temperature display.
HINT:
If no button operations occur for more than 6
seconds while in compass correction mode, the
calibration is cancelled and the display returns to
the outside temperature indication. To restart,
perform the procedure from the first step again.

(3) Refer to the following map to determine the

vehicle location and select the relevant zone
number by pushing the E/M button.

HINT:
After DEVIATION CALIBRATION, leave the
system for 6 seconds or push and hold the SET
button for about 2 seconds. The display returns
to the outside temperature display.

(b) CIRCLING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

(1) Start the engine.

HINT:
When the initial circling calibration has not yet
been performed, the COMPASS indicator in the
outside temperature display blinks.

(2) Switch the mode to compass correction mode by

pushing the SET button for about 2 seconds,
until the zone number appears in the outside
temperature display.
HINT:
If no button operations occur for more than 6
seconds while in compass correction mode,
calibration is cancelled and the display returns to
the outside temperature indication. To restart,
perform the procedure from the first step again.

(3) Push the SET button again to change the mode

to turn correction mode.
HINT:
While in correction mode, the indication bars
move as shown in the illustration.

(4) If there is sufficient space to drive the vehicle in

a circle, perform the following procedure:
1. Drive the vehicle in a full circle within 2

minutes, at a vehicle speed of 5 mph (8 km/h)
or lower, as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:
•

Do not perform the circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the earth's
magnetic field is subject to interference by
artificial magnetic fields (underground
parking, under a steel tower, between
buildings, roof parking, near a crossing,
near a large vehicle, etc.).

•

During the calibration, do not operate any
electric systems (power window, etc.) as
they may interfere with the calibration.
