Compass Calibration Procedure





1. Push the power switch to select the "IG-ON" mode and push and hold the "AUTO" switch for 6 seconds until the zone number (1 - 15) appears on the display. Then push the switch to select the number of the zone where the vehicle is located.

NOTE:
Pushing the "AUTO" switch for 3 seconds turns the compass display ON or OFF.





Refer to the map for zone reference.





2. Start the hybrid system, and push and hold the "AUTO" switch for 12 seconds until "CAL" appears on the display.





3. Drive the vehicle slowly at 5 mph (8 km/hr), or less, in a circle until the direction is displayed. If there is not enough space to drive in a circle, drive around the block (doing 2 three-point turns in succession) until the direction is displayed.

Calibration is complete when "CAL" disappears from the display.

NOTE:
^ Do NOT calibrate the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to interference (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.)

^ During calibration, do NOT operate electric systems (moon roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
