Calibration

CALIBRATION

1. SELECT COMPASS DISPLAY MODE

(a) The compass switch allows you to select the Display or Non-display mode of the compass.

2. PERFORM CALIBRATION

(a) As each vehicle has its own magnetic field, calibration should be performed for each individual vehicle. This compass function is used when storing the record of the vehicle's magnetic field.

3. WHEN COMPASS IS MAGNETIZED

(a) A compass could be magnetized during shipping by vessels or freight cars. Therefore, make sure to perform calibration and ensure that calibration is performed properly before delivery. If this cannot be done (cannot be completed in spite of driving around several times), it may be caused by magnetization. Demagnetize the vehicle using a demagnetizer and perform calibration again.

4. SET COMPASS

5. CALIBRATION SETTING MODE

(a) Pressing the compass switch for 12 seconds or more in the normal mode will activate the calibration setting mode. "C" is displayed on the compass display.

(b) Drive the vehicle at a slow speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) or less in a circular direction.

(c) Driving in a circle 1 to 3 times will display the azimuthal direction on the display, completing the calibration.

HINT:

After the calibration is completed, it is not necessary to perform the above procedures unless the magnetic field strength is drastically changed. If this happens, the azimuthal display will be changed to "C".

Inspection

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY (w/ EC Mirror)

(a) Check operation of the electrochromic inner rear view mirror.

(1) Connect the positive (+) lead of the battery to terminal 6 (IG) and negative (-) lead to terminal 3 (E). Text in Illustration *a Component without harness connected (Inner Rear View Mirror Assembly)

(2) Attach black-colored tape to the forward sensor to prevent it from sensing light. Text in Illustration *a Forward Sensor *b Black-colored Tape

(3) Shine an electric light on the mirror. Check that the mirror surface changes from bright to dark. Text in Illustration *a Bright *b Dark HINT: When the environment is very bright, the antiglare operation may occur immediately after the tape is applied. If the result is not as specified, replace the mirror assembly.

Installation

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY (w/ EC Mirror)

(a) Using a T20 "TORX" socket wrench, install the inner rear view mirror assembly with the screw.

(b) Connect the connector.

2. INSTALL INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR COVER (w/ EC Mirror)

(a) Slide the inner rear view mirror cover in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to engage the 2 claws to the roof headlining to install the inner rear view mirror cover.

3. INSTALL INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY (w/o EC Mirror)

(a) Using a T20 "TORX" socket wrench, install the inner rear view mirror assembly with the screw.

Torque:

1.5 N·m {15 kgf·cm, 13 in·lbf}

Removal

REMOVAL

PROCEDURE

1. REMOVE INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR COVER (w/ EC Mirror)

(a) Slide the inner rear view mirror cover in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration to disengage the 2 claws from the roof headlining to remove the inner rear view mirror cover.

2. REMOVE INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY (w/ EC Mirror)

(a) Disconnect the connector.

(b) Using a T20 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the screw and inner rear view mirror assembly.

3. REMOVE INNER REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY (w/o EC Mirror)

(a) Using a T20 "TORX" socket wrench, remove the screw and inner rear view mirror assembly.
