Compass and Thermometer

PRELIMINARY CHECK FOR THERMOMETER

NOTE:
- When the outside temperature is between 55°C (130°F) and 70°C (158°F), the display shows 55°C (130°F). When the outside temperature is lower than -30°C (-20°F) or higher than 70°C (158°F), the display shows only "---".
- The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when one of the following conditions is present.
a. The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature on the thermometer.
b. The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1°C (1.8°F) when vehicle speed has been greater than 24 kph (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation during low-speed driving.)
c. The ignition key has been turned to the "OFF" position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)




INSPECTION/COMPASS AND THERMOMETER

Calibration Procedure for Compass
The difference between magnetic North and geographical North can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings. In order for the compass to operate accurately in a particular zone, it must be calibrated using the following procedure.








CORRECTION FUNCTIONS OF COMPASS
The direction display is equipped with automatic correction function. If the direction is not shown correctly, carry out initial correction.

INITIAL CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR COMPASS
1. Pushing the "Mode" switch for about 10 seconds will enter the initial correction mode. The direction bar starts blinking.
2. Turn the vehicle slowly in an open, safe place. The initial correction is completed in one or two turns.

NOTE: In places where the terrestrial magnetism is extremely disturbed, the initial correction may start automatically.
