● The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
● The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s
magnetic field is subject to interference
by artificial magnetic fields (under-
ground car park/parking lot, under a
steel tower, between buildings, roof car
park/parking lot, near an intersection,
near a large vehicle, etc.).
● The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near
the inside rear view mirror.)
● The 12-volt battery has been discon-
nected.
● A door is open.
■ Deviation
The direction display deviates from the
true direction determined by the
earth’s magnetic field. The amount of
deviation varies depending on the geo-
graphic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundar-
ies shown in illustration, the compass will
deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect cali-
bration, refer to “Deviation calibration”.
■ Deviation calibration
1 Stop the vehicle.
■ While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the dis-
play only when the vehicle is stopped.
■ To avoid compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal
objects near the inside rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sen-
sor to malfunction.
■ To ensure normal operation of the
compass
● Do not perform a circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic
fields.
● During calibration, do not operate
electric systems (moon roof, power
windows, etc.) as they may interfere
with the calibration.
