Repair Instruction - Initialization
INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: INITIALIZATION
* The initialization procedures are below the table.
1. DESCRIPTION
NOTICE:
Do not place magnetic or metal objects on or near the accessory meter.
HINT
The procedures described below are for vehicles equipped with an accessory meter.
(a) The location of magnetic north differs depending on the vehicle location. Adjustment of the compass' magnetism is required to correct possible compass deviations from true north.
(b) Compass function calibration is necessary when: 1) purchasing a vehicle; 2) disconnecting and reconnecting the cable of the negative (-) battery terminal; 3) replacing the vehicle battery; 4) driving the vehicle outside the set zone (see the zone map below); or 5) placing magnetic or metal objects near the accessory meter (the direction indication on the display blinks).
2. PERFORM CALIBRATION
CAUTION:
* Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws and road conditions.
* Make sure no people are near the vehicle.
NOTICE:
* Perform the circling calibration in a spacious area that does not have artificial magnetic influence. Calibration cannot be performed in underground parking lots, areas under steel towers and areas between tall buildings.
* When performing the calibration, do not operate the air conditioner, power windows, or any other electrical system.
* The compass may become magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Be sure to calibrate the compass by correctly performing the procedure described below. If the calibration cannot be completed despite the vehicle being driven in a circle several times, the vehicle's magnetic field may be interfering with the calibration. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.
(a) DEVIATION CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
HINT
When the initial circling calibration has not yet been performed, the COMPASS indicator in the outside temperature display blinks.
(2) Switch the mode to compass correction mode by pushing the SET button for about 2 seconds, until the zone number appears in the outside temperature display.
HINT
If no button operations occur for more than 6 seconds while in compass correction mode, the calibration is cancelled and the display returns to the outside temperature indication. To restart, perform the procedure from the first step again.
(3) Refer to the following map to determine the vehicle location and select the relevant zone number by pushing the E/M button.
HINT
After DEVIATION CALIBRATION, leave the system for 6 seconds or push and hold the SET button for about 2 seconds. The display returns to the outside temperature display.
(b) CIRCLING CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:
(1) Start the engine.
HINT
When the initial circling calibration has not yet been performed, the COMPASS indicator in the outside temperature display blinks.
(2) Switch the mode to compass correction mode by pushing the SET button for about 2 seconds, until the zone number appears in the outside temperature display.
HINT
If no button operations occur for more than 6 seconds while in compass correction mode, calibration is cancelled and the display returns to the outside temperature indication. To restart, perform the procedure from the first step again.
(3) Push the SET button again to change the mode to turn correction mode.
HINT
While in correction mode, the indication bars move as shown in the illustration.
(4) If there is sufficient space to drive the vehicle in a circle, perform the following procedure:
1 Drive the vehicle in a full circle within 2 minutes, at a vehicle speed of 5 mph (8 km/h) or lower, as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
* Do not perform the circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).
* During the calibration, do not operate any electric systems (power window, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
HINT
* When the compass display returns to the outside temperature display, the calibration is complete.
* When the circling calibration fails, "Er" is displayed for about 2 seconds and then the COMPASS indicator flashes.
* If the correct direction is not displayed after driving the vehicle as specified, change the vehicle location.
* To cancel the calibration before completion, push the SET button for about 2 seconds.
(5) If enough space is not available to drive in a circle, perform the following:
1 Perform a four-point turn within 2 minutes, as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
* Do not perform the circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).
* During the calibration, do not operate any electric systems (power window, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
HINT
* When the compass display returns to the outside temperature display, the calibration is complete.
* When the circling calibration fails, "Er" is displayed for about 2 seconds and then the COMPASS indicator flashes.
* If the correct direction is not displayed after driving the vehicle as specified, change the vehicle location.
* To cancel the calibration before completion, push the SET button for about 2 seconds.
(6) Check that the COMPASS indicator is not blinking and that the compass is displayed normally.
