If the compass has been
calibrated or set to variance zone number incorrectly, or you are driving
in specific places (tunnel, parking lot in building, underground parking
lot, near transformer substation, etc.), the below conditions may
occur.
| • |
The compass headings become
inaccurate. |
| • |
The compass heading is not
changed. |
| • |
Some compass headings are not
displayed. |
| • |
The compass headings are inaccurate in long
distance driving. |
This compass
automatically calibrates itself while the vehicle is driven as your route
takes you in complete circles.
If the vehicle's compass
headings become inaccurate continuously, the compass should be manually
calibrated as follows:
| 1. |
Move the vehicle from the large steel
structure or electric power supply
cable. |
| 2. |
Turn on the compass by pressing the A
button. |
| 3. |
Check the zone number by pressing the A button
for more than 4 seconds until the current zone number appears in the
display.
To re-calibrate, hold the A button for 3
seconds until C is displayed. If the zone number is different for
your country, set the correct zone number referring to "Setting the
compass zone" and do the "calibration procedure"
again. |
| 4. |
Drive your vehicle in at least 2 circles at
less than 5 miles per hour (8 km/h) until the compass heading
appears. Driving in a circle in right-handed direction and opposite
direction is possible and if possible, stops the wiper
operation. |
| 5. |
If the vehicle's compass headings become
inaccurate as before, do the following procedure again.
|
If new vehicle is first driven or if the
battery has been disconnected, do the calibration procedure as
above. | |
Setting The Compass Zone
This compass must be set
to compensate for the variation between true north and magnetic north. To
set variation:
| 1. |
Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map. |
| 2. |
Press the A button for more than 4 seconds.
The current zone number will appear in the
display. |
| 3. |
Release and press the A button until the new
zone number appears in the display. After you stop pressing the
button in, the display will show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
|
Zone Map
| 1. |
Do not install the ski rack, antenna,
etc. which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet.
They affect the operation of the
compass. |
| 2. |
If the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment, have the compass
checked at an authorized
dealer. |
| 3. |
The compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up or down a steep
hill. (The compass returns to the correct compass point when
the vehicle moves to an area where the geomagnetism is
stabilized.) | |
