Compass: Testing and Inspection

MIRROR: INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR: CALIBRATION

1. COMPASS DISPLAY MODE SELECTION

(a) Turn the compass display ON and OFF by pressing and holding the AUTO switch for 3 seconds.

(b) Procedures for selecting compass mode.

(1) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(2) Check that the inner mirror's LED illuminates green.

(3) Check that one of the following directions is displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

(4) Press and hold the inner mirror's AUTO switch for 3 seconds, and check that the direction display turns off.

HINT
Immediately after the AUTO switch is pressed, check that the LED turns off and the inner mirror anti-glare mode turns off. Then, after the AUTO switch is pressed and held for 3 seconds, check that the LED illuminates and the inner mirror anti-glare mode turns on.

2. COMPASS ZONE SETTING

HINT
The location of magnetic north and true north differs depending on the vehicle's location. Adjustment of the compass's magnetism is required. The user must select a zone as the automatic adjustment will be different depending on the vehicle's location.

(a) Change the inner mirror's zone setting using the AUTO switch procedures described below.

(1) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(2) Check that the inner mirror's LED illuminates green.

(3) Check that one of the following directions is displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

(4) Press and hold the inner mirror's AUTO switch for 3 seconds, and check that the direction display turns off.

(5) Do not release the AUTO switch and hold it for another 3 seconds (total press time: 6 seconds). Check that ZONE or a number from 1 to 15 is displayed on the compass.

(6) Each press of the AUTO switch causes the number display to increase by 1. Use the zone setting map to find the appropriate zone and set the zone number.

(7) After setting the zone number, check that waiting several seconds causes the compass to return to the direction display.

4. COMPASS CALIBRATION

HINT
Compass calibration should be performed on each vehicle, as each vehicle has a unique magnetic field. Performing compass calibration will store information about the vehicle's magnetic field.

(a) Procedures for calibration.

(1) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(2) Check that the inner mirror's LED illuminates green.

(3) Check that one of the following directions is displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

(4) Press and hold the inner mirror's AUTO switch for 3 seconds, and check that CAL is displayed on the compass.

(5) Perform calibration by driving the vehicle at 8 km/h (5 mph) or less in a circle.

(6) Drive in a circle 1 to 3 times, and check that calibration is completed by confirming that CAL is not displayed on the compass.

HINT
After the calibration is performed once, calibration will not be necessary unless the vehicle's magnetic field changes drastically. If the magnetic field has changed, CAL will be displayed on the compass.
