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.
