The compass may not show the correct direction in the following situations: l The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning. l The vehicle is on an inclined surface. l The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).

l The vehicle has become magnetized.

(There is a magnet or metal object near the anti-glare inside rear view mirror.)

l The battery has been disconnected. l A door is open.

CAUTION

n While driving the vehicle

Do not adjust the display. Be sure to adjust the display only when the vehicle is stopped.

n When doing the circling calibration

Be sure to secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neighborhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.

NOTICE

n To avoid compass malfunctions

Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the anti-glare inside rear view mirror. Doing this may cause a malfunction of the compass sensor.

n To ensure normal operation of the compass

l Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields. l During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-

dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

4-1. Maintenance and care Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime condition.

l Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt and dust. Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a chamois.

l For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-

oughly with water.

l Wipe away any water. l Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates. If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

n Automatic car washes

l Fold the mirrors back before washing the vehicle. l Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface

and harm your vehicle’s paint.

n High pressure car washes

l Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity

of the windows.

l Before car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed

properly.

n Aluminum wheels

Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners. Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.

n Bumpers

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

n To prevent deterioration and body corrosion

l Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:

• After driving near the sea coast • After driving on salted roads • If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface • If you see dead insects or insect droppings on the paint • After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,

iron powder or chemical substances

• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in dust or mud • If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
