ELECTRONIC COMPASS

The compass heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW in the Center Integrated Display (CID).

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to Compass calibration adjustment.

INSTRUMENT PANEL STORAGE COMPARTMENT

The storage compartment may be
used to secure sunglasses or similar
sized objects. Press the button to
open the storage compartment.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12VDC)
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

The auxiliary power points are
located on the instrument panel and
in the center console utility
compartment.

Do not use the power point for
operating the cigarette lighter
element (if equipped).

To prevent the fuse from being
blown, do not use the power
point(s) over the vehicle capacity of
12 VDC/180W. If the power point or cigar lighter socket is not working, a
fuse may have blown. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside
Emergencies chapter for information on checking and replacing fuses.
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent
the battery from being discharged:
• do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is

not running,

• do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and

other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for
extended periods.

Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.

Cigar/Cigarette lighter (if equipped)

Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter
socket.

Do not hold the lighter in with your hand while it is heating, this will
damage the lighter element and socket. The lighter will be released from
its heating position when it is ready to be used.

Note: Improper use of the lighter can cause damage not covered by your
warranty, and can result in fire or serious injury.

Power point (110 VAC)

The 110 VAC power point outlet,
located on the rear of the floor
console, is used for powering
electrical devices that require up to
150W. Exceeding the 150W limit will
cause the power point to cut off the
power temporarily to provide
overload protection.

Note: The 110 VAC power point is equipped with a safety cap and a
safety twist tab. They both provide protection from inserting any object
into the power point other than the 110 VAC electrical device plug. The
safety cap should always be in a closed position whenever the power
point outlet is not in use.

The power outlet is not designed for the following electric appliances;
they may not work properly:
• Cathode ray tube type televisions.
• Motor loads, such as vacuum cleaners, electric saws and other electric

power tools, compressor-driven refrigerators, etc.

• Measuring devices, which process precise data, such as medical

equipment, measuring equipment, etc.

• Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply:

microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

Do not keep electrical devices plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. It is not recommended to use any
extension cord with the 110 VAC power point, since it will defeat
the safety protection design provided by the cap and twist tab. It

will also cause the power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond the 150W load limit.

The power point can switch to a fault mode when it is overloaded,
overheated, or shorted. For overloading and shorting conditions, unplug
your device and turn the ignition key off then on. For an overheating
condition, let the system cool off, then turn the ignition key off then on.

The 110 VAC power point can provide power whenever the vehicle
ignition is in the run position and the power point green indicator light
located in the top left corner is turned on. Refer to the indicator light
code below for the power point status.

Note: Using the 110 VAC power point for long periods of time without
running the engine will cause your battery to drain.
