Compass: Testing and Inspection

ADJUSTMENT







1. MULTI INFORMATION DISPLAY ILLUMINATION
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and illuminate the all parts of the display by pushing the "LIGHT' button.




2. PERFORM CIRCLING CALIBRATION
a. Push the "MODE" button several times until "COMPASS"appears and blinks on the calendar display.
b. Then push the "RESET/ADJ" button. "CALIBRATE" appears and blinks together with the compass display.




c. Drive the vehicle in a circle until the blinking stops.
d. If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block until the blinking stops.
e. When the compass and the calendar display return to normal mode, calibration is complete.

NOTE:
- Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).
- During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moonroof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
- If you want to cancel the calibration before it is complete, push the "MODE" button again.

HINT: A compass could be magnetized during by vessels of freight cars. Before delivery, therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that calibration can be done.If cannot be done (cannot complete in spite of driving round several times), it may be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and preform calibration again.







3. PERFORM DEVIATION CALIBRATION
a. Stop the vehicle and push the "MODE" button several times until "ZONE XX" appears on the calender display.
b. Then push the "RESET/ADJ" button, referring to the following map to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is.
c. After calibration, push the "MODE" button several times until the calendar display returns to the normal mode.
