Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Adjustments

COMPASS CALIBRATION (MIDDLE GRADE TYPE)

Manual calibration (by turning the vehicle)
The multi-center display can show the direction of the vehicle by means of its compass sensor. The compass sensor is calibrated automatically when the vehicle is driven and turned, and do not normally require calibration. But, if the sensor is magnetized strongly by any reason, the compass may show inaccurate direction. In this case, a manual calibration of the compass sensor will be necessary.

NOTE: The compass returns to the correct compass direction vehicle moves to an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.

1. Ignition switch "ACC" position.




2. A set-up screen will be called up by pressing to hold the "DISP" button switch on the multi-center display.




3. Choose "Next Menu (Operable only with vehicle stationary)" by pressing function button switch 2, and then press function button switch 3 (ENTER).




4. The compass setting screen is called up. Choose "compass calibration" by pressing function button switch 2, and then press function button switch 3 (ENTER).




5. Choose function button switch 2 ("YES") on the compass calibration screen.







6. After the message is shown, drive the vehicle in one circle.
7. If the calibration is made successfully, the display unit buzzer will sound twice.

NOTE: If the calibration fails, a message will appear to indicate it.

Deflection Angle Compensation




COMPASS CALIBRATION
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is the difference between earth's magnetic north and true geographic north.
If not adjusted to account for compass variance, compass could give false readings.

ADJUST FOR COMPASS VARIANCE




1. Choose "zone code setting" by pressing function button switch 2 on the compass selection screen, and press function button switch 3 (ENTER).




2. Find current location and variance zone number on the zone map.




3. Enter the zone number to calibrate the compass.
4. If the calibration is made successfully, the display unit buzzer will sound twice.

NOTE:
- If the calibration fails, a message will appear to indicate it.
- Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc., which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of compass.
- The compass may not indicate the correct compass direction in the place shown below:
- Tunnels
- Railroads
- Underpass/Overpass
- Transforming station
- Large metal structures
- Area over the subway
