Interior features
● 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 (underground
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 battery has been disconnected.
● 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 geographic posi-
tion of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, 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.
