Warranty Information

1. With foot OFF of the brake pedal, press the engine START/STOP button twice to switch to "IG-ON" mode.





2. Push and hold the AUTO" switch on the mirror for at least 6 seconds until the zone number appears on the compass display.





NOTE:
Pushing the "AUTO" switch for 3 seconds turns the compass display ON or OFF.

3. Once the zone appears, push the "AUTO" switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.





See the map for zone reference.





4. Depress the brake pedal and press the engine START/STOP switch once to start the engine.

5. Push and hold the "AUTO" switch on the mirror for at least 9 seconds until "CAL" appears on the display.





6. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/h), or less, in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is NOT enough space to drive in a circle, turn the car around as shown, doing two three-point turns in succession.

After driving in circles 1 to 3 times, "CAL" disappears and calibration is complete.

NOTE:
^ Do NOT perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.)

^ During calibration, do NOT operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
