Compass: Description and Operation
COMPASS MIRROR
FUNCTION OF THE COMPASS MIRROR
1. Push the 'COMP' button lower of the rear view mirror to turn on the function of the compass mirror so that displays a sign of a direction on the
small board in the upper-right side of the mirror.
2. Push the 'COMP' button again to turn off its function.
Calibration procedure
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.), some phenomenon is occur as follows:
-
The display read "C".
-
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 COMP button.
3. Check the zone number by pressing the COMP button for more than 4 seconds until the current zone number appears in the display.
To re-calibrate, hold the COMP 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 are possible and if possible, stop the wiper operation.
5. If the vehicle's compass headings become inaccurate as before, do the following procedure again.
NOTE:
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 COMP button for more than 4 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the display.
3. Release and press the COMP 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.
