Compass: Service and Repair
1. SELECTING COMPASS DISPLAY MODE
The mode select switch allows you to select a Display or Non-display mode of the compass.
2. SETTING ZONE
Deviation between the magnetic north and "actual north" differs depending on the terrestrial location, therefore, an adjustment in magnetism is
required. Since the magnetic condition differs according to the area where the vehicle will be used, it is necessary for each user to set the zone.
(Refer to "Compass Zone Map").
The zone setting can be changed using the E/M switch of the display.
3. PERFORMING CALIBRATION
Because each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each vehicle. This compass function is used when storing the
record of the vehicle's magnetic field.
4. WHEN COMPASS MAGNETIZED:
A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Before delivery, therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure
that calibration can be done. If it cannot be done (cannot complete in spite of driving round several times), it may be caused by magnetization.
Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.
