Correcting the compass
E00519400178
This compass shows the direction of the vehicle by
the 8 azimuth system.
NOTE
l This system uses the earth's magnetic field,
and so may not show the correct direction de-
pending on the traffic condition or in the fol-
lowing places where the earth's magnetic
field is disrupted.
• Car parks located in buildings and tunnels
• Expressways and underground cables
• Area over the subway
• Transforming station
• Areas along the railroad
In these cases, the correct direction will be
displayed once the vehicle returns to a place
where the earth's magnetic field is stable.
l Do not install ski racks, antennas, etc. which
are attached to the vehicle by means of a mag-
net. They affect the operation of the compass.
Setting the declination
The declination is the difference between true
north (the direction of the geographic north pole)
and where a compass needle points to. Since the dec-
lination varies from place to place, it needs to be
set for each region. Otherwise the compass will not
show the correct direction.
Set the declination by the following steps:
NOTE
l The default declination setting is 0 degrees.
In accordance with the illustration, set the dec-
lination setting to the declination contour near-
est to a region where you drive the vehicle.
l
The declination can be set at intervals of
1 degrees, from 28 degrees west (W28) to
28 degrees east (E28).
With a settings display showing, press the "ADJ"
button and select "COMPASS VARIANCE".
