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).

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.
