(2) Press button A and select "Compass", then press button B.

(3) Press button A and select "Compass Display".

(4) Press button B and select display on/off.

(d) To leave the "Compass Settings Menu", select "Back to main menu" to return to the starting screen, then either select "Exit" or wait several seconds without pressing any buttons.

2. SET ZONE

(a) Deviation between the "magnetic north" and "actual north" differs depending on the location. Therefore, calibration of the compass is required. As the magnetic conditions differ depending on the area where the vehicle is used, it is necessary for the user to set the zone. The zone setting can be changed using the switch of the inner mirror.

If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in the illustration, the compass will deviate.

To obtain higher precision or more accurate calibration, refer to "Deviation calibration".

If "C" appears on the display, circling calibration needs to be performed.

3. PERFORM CALIBRATION

(a) As each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each individual vehicle. This compass function is used when storing the record of the vehicle's magnetic field.

4. WHEN COMPASS IS MAGNETIZED

(a) A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that calibration is performed properly before delivery. If this cannot be done (cannot be completed in spite of driving around several times), it may be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.

5. DEVIATION CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

(a) w/o Garage Door Opener

(1) Press and hold button A to display "Custom Settings Menu".

(2) Press button A and select "Compass", then press and hold button A.

(3) Press button A and select "Zone", then press and hold button A.

(4) The selected country changes each time button A is pressed. Select the country, then press and hold button A to confirm.

(5) The selected region changes each time button A is pressed. Select the region, then press and hold button A to confirm.

(b) w/ Garage Door Opener

(1) Press button A to display "Custom Settings Menu".

(2) Press button A and select "Compass", then press button B.

(3) Press button A and select "Zone", then press button B.

(4) The selected country changes each time button A is pressed. Select the country, then press button B to confirm.

(5) The selected region changes each time button A is pressed. Select the region, then press button B to confirm.

(c) To leave the "Compass Settings Menu", select "Back to main menu" to return to the starting screen, then either select "Exit" or wait several seconds without pressing any buttons.

6. CIRCLING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

(a) Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.

(b) w/o Garage Door Opener

(1) Press button A and hold to display "Custom Settings Menu".

(2) Press button A and select 2Compass", then press and hold button A.

(3) Press button A and select "Calibrate", then press and hold button A. "C" appears on the display.

(2) Press button A and select "Compass", then press button B.

(3) Press button A and select "Calibrate", then press button B. "C" appears on the display.

(d) Drive the vehicle at a slow speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) or less in a circular direction.

(e) Driving in a circle 1 to 3 times will cause "C" to disappear from the display, completing the calibration.

HINT
After the calibration is completed, it is not necessary to perform the above procedures unless the magnetic field strength is drastically changed. If this happens, "C" appears on the display.

(f) To leave the "Compass Settings Menu", select "Back to main menu" to return to the starting screen, then either select "Exit" or wait several seconds without pressing any buttons.
