.

ECM

Transmits the following signals to the combination meter via CAN communication line.

• Engine speed signal

• Fuel consumption monitor signal

Brake ECU

Transmits the vehicle speed signal to the hybrid vehicle control ECU via CAN communication line.

Hybrid vehicle control ECU

Transmits the vehicle speed signal to the combination meter via CAN communication line.

BCM

Transmits signals provided by various units to the combination meter via CAN communication line.

Washer level switch

Transmits the washer level signal to the combination meter.

Parking brake switch

Refer to 

MWI-46, "Description"

.

Door switch

Description

INFOID:0000000004219273

DESCRIPTION

With the ignition switch in the ON position, and the mode (N) switch

ON, the compass display will indicate the direction the vehicle is

heading.

Vehicle direction is displayed as follows:

• N: north

• E: east

• S: south

• W:  west

ZONE VARIATION SETTING PROCEDURE

The difference between magnetic north and geographical north can sometimes be great enough to cause

false compass readings. This difference is known as variance. In order for the compass to operate properly

(accurately) in a particular zone, the zone variation must be calibrated using the following procedure. 

Zone Variation Chart

1. Determine your location on the zone map.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the mode (N) switch for about 5 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the dis-

play.

4. Press the mode (N) switch repeatedly until the desired zone number appears in the display.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop pressing the mode (N) switch and the display will show a

compass direction after a few seconds.

NOTE:

Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >

COMPASS

The compass display is equipped with an automatic correction function. If the compass display reads “C” or

the direction is not shown correctly, perform the correction procedure below.

1. Press and hold the mode (N) switch for about 9 seconds. The

display will read “C”.

2. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle, in an open, safe place. The

initial calibration is completed in about three turns.

NOTE:

In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the

initial correction may start automatically.
