Direction Display: Notes

Push the switch when the ignition key is in the "ON" or "START" position.

The direction will be displayed. Pushing the "COMP" switch a second time will turn off the display.

  1. If the display reads "C" calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in 3 complete circles at less than 8 km/h (5 MPH).
  2. To adjust for compass variance:
    1. Press the "COMP" switch for more than 3 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the display.
    2. Find your current location and variance zone number on the zone map.
    3. Press the "COMP" switch 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.
      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.)
  3. Cleaning the Mirror

    When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
