wipers are turned off.
5) Drive your vehicle in at least 2
complete (either clockwise or
counter-clockwise) circles at less

pass heading appears. Driving in
a circle in right-handed direction
and opposite direction is possible
and if possible, stop the wiper

NOTICE
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 com-
pensate 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 and hold the ON/OFF but-
ton for 6~9 seconds. The current
zone number will appear in the
display.
3. Release and press the ON/OFF
button until the new zone number
appears in the display. After you
stop pressing the button in, the
display will show a compass direc-
tion within a few seconds.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
1. Do not install a ski rack, antenna,
etc. that are attached to the vehi-
cle using a magnet as anything
attached to the roof of the vehicle
with a magnet will effect compass
operation.
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 cor-
rect compass point when the vehi-
cle moves to an area where the
geomagnetism is stabilized.)
